Operation
Filling the Fuel Tank
DANGER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or mower
directly on the ground before filling, not in a
vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around
an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out
of the reach of children.
• For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher
((R+M)/2 rating method).
• Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
• Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline, such as E15
or E85, with more than 10% ethanol by volume.
Performance problems and/or engine damage may
result, which may not be covered under warranty.
• Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless fuel stabilizer has
been added to the fuel.
• Do not add oil to gasoline.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add a
fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old.
1. Clean around the fuel tank cap, and remove the cap
from the tank (Figure 11).
2. Fill the fuel tank, leaving at least 1/4 inch (6 mm)
from the bottom of the neck empty to allow the
gasoline room to expand (Figure 11).
3. Install the fuel tank cap and tighten it securely by
hand.
