FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
This engine is certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline with a
Research Octane Number of 89 or higher.
Use unleaded gasoline only, or the catalyzer will loose its effectiveness
and negatively affect exhaust emissions.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
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 and
leaded gasoline are not covered under warranty.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent basis, please refer to
the fuel section of the STORAGE chapter (see page 67) for additional
information regarding fuel deterioration.
