CAUTION: Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout

be clean and free of rust or other foreign particles.
Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the tank to
within 1/4"-1/2" from the top to provide space for
expansion of fuel.
