upper limit on the dipstick. See Fig. 3-3 inset.
4. Reinsert the dipstick into the locked position before
starting the engine.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause
smoking, hard starting, spark plug fouling, or oil saturation
of air cleaner.
Fuel Requirements
CAUTION:
Operating the engine with E85 fuel, an
oil/gasoline mixture, dirty gasoline, or gasoline over
30 days old without fuel stabilizing additive may
result in damage to your engine's carburetor.
Subsequent damage would not be covered under
the manufacturer's warranty.
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize
combustion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane.
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) can be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or
dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
DO NOT use E85 gasoline.
WARNING!
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is
explosive under certain conditions.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where
the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.
Adding Fuel
WARNING!
An adult should fuel this engine. NEVER
allow children to refuel its engine. Gasoline (fuel)
vapors are highly flammable and can explode. Fuel
vapors can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame
many feet away from engine. To prevent injury or
death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:
• DO NOT use leaded fuel.
• Fuel must be fresh and clean. NEVER use fuel left over
from last season or stored for long periods.
• NEVER mix oil with fuel.
• DO NOT use fuel containing Methanol (Wood
Alcohol)
NOTE: Before refueling, allow engine to cool two minutes.
1. Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel.
2. Fill tank until fuel reaches
filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion. Be careful not
to overfill.
3. Replace the gasoline cap and tighten securely. Wipe up
spilled fuel before starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT
start engine. Move machine away from area of spillage.
Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors are
gone.
