Items To Be Checked Before Starting The Engine; Fuellevel - Honda HS35 Owner's Manual

ITEMS TO BE CHECKED BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
Stop the engine before inspecting the engine. The snow thrower must be placed on a
level surface before inspecting it.
FUEL LEVEL
Inspection:
Unscrew the fuel cap. If the fuel level is not up near the cap, add gasoline to the
UPPER LIMIT as shown.
Your engine is designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane number (F)
of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 or higher.
Gasoline pumps at service station normally display the pump octane number.
We recommend that you use unleaded fuel because it produces fewer engine and
spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting
dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause persistent
"pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead
to engine damage.
CAUTION: If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a steady engine
speed under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or
pinging persists, consult your authorized Honda dealer. Failure to do so
is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by
Honda's Limited Warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating under heavy
loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means your engine is operating
efficiently.
