OIL AND FUEL
USING THE RIGHT OIL
Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil. DO NOT use dirty
oil. Failure to use clean oil of the correct type can cause
premature engine wear and failure.
ADDING OIL: INITIAL USE
WARNING
OVERFILLING THE CRANKCASE MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check the oil level
before each use. The importance of maintaining the
proper oil level cannot be overemphasized. Change the
oil according to the Maintenance Schedule.
Note: This unit was shipped without oil in the
crankcase.
Oil must be added before starting the unit.
Note: This unit comes with a 2.03 fluid oz. (60 ml)
container of oil.
1. Set the unit on a flat, level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil fill plug (Fig. 4).
3. Pour the entire container of oil into the oil fill hole
(Fig. 4).
DO NOT overfill. Refer to Checking the Oil Level.
Note: Never add oil to the fuel tank. This unit has a
four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
4. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
5. Reinstall the oil fill plug.
Note: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug
(Fig. 4).
USING THE RIGHT FUEL
The use of old fuel is the most common cause of
performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gasoline.
Note: This unit has a four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil
with gasoline.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE
(ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as
1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate,
forming acids when stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel
(less than 30 days old).
Note: Dispose of old fuel according to federal, state and
local regulations.
Using Blended Fuels
If using a blended fuel:
• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL
WARNING
DO NOT USE E85 OR E15 FUEL IN THIS UNIT. It
has been proven that fuel containing greater than 10%
ethanol will likely damage this engine and void the
warranty.

Using Fuel Additives
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer or
an equivalent, to inhibit corrosion and minimize gum
deposits. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon
of fuel, according to the instructions on the container.
NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.

FUELING THE UNIT
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors may
explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the
tank. Keep sparks and open flames at a distance from
the area.
WARNING
Remove the fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel
spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap
securely in place.
WARNING
Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor area. Wipe
up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source
of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the engine until
fuel vapors dissipate.
1. Position the unit with the fuel cap facing up.
2. Slowly remove the fuel cap.
3. Place the fuel container spout into the fuel tank fill
hole and fill the tank.
Note: Do not overfill the tank.
