WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep your face away from the nozzle and fuel
tank or conditioner opening.
• Keep gasoline away from your eyes and skin.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to provide
the following benefits:
•
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less.
For longer storage it is recommended that the fuel tank
be drained.
•
Cleans the engine while it runs
•
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system,
which causes hard starting
Important: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the
gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when
mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish
deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Shut the engine off.
2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap
(Figure
8).
Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which shows
the fuel level.
1. Fuel tank
3. Add unleaded regular gasoline to the fuel tank, until the
level is 6 mm to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the
bottom of the filler neck.

Note: This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tanks completely full.
4. Install fuel tank cap securely.
5. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the oil
level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Oil Level (page
20).
Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure
The correct tire pressure is 96.5 kPa (14 psi).
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Lug Nuts
Service Interval: After the first 10 hours
Check the torque of the wheel lug nuts initially and after the
first 10 hours of operation.
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque could result in
failure or loss of wheel and could result in personal
injury. Torque wheel lug nuts to 95 to 122 N-m (70
to 90 ft-lb)
