Fuel

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol with a research
octane rating of 91 or higher.
We recommend refueling after each use to minimize the air present in
the fuel tank.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool. Never refuel the mower
inside a building where petrol fumes may reach flames or sparks.
You may use regular unleaded petrol 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. In addition, ethanol is hygroscopic,
which means it attracts and retains water in 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
covered by warranty. Using the fuel indicated above is necessary to
maintain the performance of the emission control system.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
(more than 4 weeks before next use) please refer to the Fuel section
of the STORAGE chapter (page 19) for additional information
regarding fuel deterioration.

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and allow to cool.
• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture. Avoid
getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered
under warranty.

WARNING
Remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the
fuel level is low. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not overfill;
there should be no fuel in the filler neck [1].
After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
Move the mower at least 3 meters away from the fueling source and
site before starting the engine.
Fuel Storage Container
Store your petrol in a clean, plastic, sealed container approved for fuel
storage. Close the vent (if equipped) when not in use, and store the
container away from direct sunlight. If it will take more than 3 months
to use the fuel in the container, we suggest adding a fuel stabilizer to
the fuel when you fill the container.
Air Cleaner Inspection
Remove cover [1]. Make sure the filter [2] is clean and in good
condition. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. Refer to page 14 for air cleaner
service.
Handlebar Height Adjustment
Adjust handlebar height to a comfortable operating position (page 4).
Grass Catcher
A lawnmower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the
catcher, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass
catcher before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Catching
performance will diminish after the catcher becomes about 90% filled.
Also, the catcher is easier to empty when it is not packed full.
Inspection
During normal use, the grass catcher material is subject to
deterioration and wear.
NOTICE
Frequently inspect the grass catcher for tears, holes, and excessive
wear. Check for necessary replacement. Make sure the new catcher
meets the original specifications.
