7.3 ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
DANGER
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower
to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and
refueling.
A. FILLING THE FUEL TANK - EXCLUDING CA
MODELS
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane
rating of 87 and a maximum of 10% Ethanol.
Fill to the bottom of the filler neck (approximately 1 gallon)
at the beginning of each operating day. See Figure 7-3.
DO NOT over fill. The empty space in the fuel tank allows
the fuel to expand. Overfilling the fuel tank may result in
fuel leakage, damage to the engine and/or damage to the
machine's emissions system.
DO NOT use E85 Fuel. Using E85 Fuel will cause severe
damage to the engine.
