ADD
GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tankto bottom offiller neck. Do not
overfill. Usefresh, clean, regular unleaded
gasoline
with a minimum
of 87 octane.
(Use of leaded gasoline will increase car-
bon and lead oxide deposits and reduce
valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used
within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.
_CAUTION:
Fill to within 1/2" of top of
fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow for
fuel expansion.
If gasoline
is accidentally
spilled, move machine
away from area of
spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition
until gasoline vapors have disappeared.
Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store,
spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
IMPORTANT:
When operating
in tempera-
tures below32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter
grade gasoline
to help insure good cold
weather starting.
_CAUTION:
Alcoho! blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethano! or methano!)
can
attract moisture
which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damagethe
fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank,
start the engine
and let it run until the
fue! lines
and carburetor
are empty.
Use
fresh fuel next season.
