Engine Fuel - HUSTLER HPGH5500 Instruction Manual

Operate engine only on level surfaces. The low oil sensor (if equipped) will
automatically stop the engine when the oil level falls below the safe limit. To avoid
the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, fill to the upper limit and check the
oil level regularly.

Engine Fuel

• With the engine stopped, check the fuel level gauge. Refill the fuel tank if
necessary.
Pressure can build up in the fuel tank. Allow the engine to cool for at least two
(2) minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
• Use clean, fresh regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87.
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline or use gasoline older than 30 days. DO NOT use
gasoline that contains more than 10% ethyl alcohol. E15, E20 and E85 are NOT
approved fuels and should NOT be used.
• Be sure not to fill the fuel tank above the upper limit mark. Always allow room for
fuel expansion.
• See SPECIFICATIONS for fuel capacity (rated).
IMPORTANT: Hustler Fuel Stabilizer with cleaner (sold separately) is a fuel
stabilizer that helps eliminate and prevent ethanol related problems in power
equipment. Follow the instructions on the container and add to the gasoline.
NOTICE: Use of fuels with greater than 10% ethanol are
not approved for use in this product per EPA regulations
and will damage the unit and void the warranty.
