You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10% ethanol (E10)
or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol must contain cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content of ethanol or methanol greater than
shown above may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage
metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the fuel system. Engine damage or performance
problems that result from using a fuel with percentages of ethanol or methanol
greater than shown above are not overed by warranty.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or
seriously injured when refueling. Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and
flame away. Refuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis, please
refer to the Off Season Storage section for additional information regarding fuel
deterioration.
NOTE: Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel
when filling your fuel tank.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting
dirt or water in the fuel tank.
1.
Remove the fuel tank cap.
2.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel. To allow for expansion of the fuel, do not fill
above the bottom of the fuel tank neck. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel
before starting the engine.
3.
Install the fuel tank cap and tighten it until it clicks.
4.
Move lawn mower at least 10 feet away from the fuel container/source and
site before starting the engine.
Be sure no one other than the operator is standing near the lawn mower
while starting engine or operating mower. Never run engine indoors or
