Tire Pressure
Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure in both
tires to between 15 psi and 20 psi.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the machine
may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear
unevenly.
Fuel Recommendations
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize
combustion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane.
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) can be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or
dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
DO NOT use E85 gasoline.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where
the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
•
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
•
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.
