Fuel
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill
fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. Do not spill gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine to
cool before filling fuel tank.
Do not overfill fuel tank. Always leave
room for fuel expansion. If fuel tank is
overfilled, fuel can overflow onto a hot engine causing
FIRE or EXPLOSION. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately.
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and
its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Never
permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicin-
ity while handling gasoline.
Fuel requirements are as follows:
•
Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
•
Minimum rating of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).

NOTICE:
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture, which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the 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. See the
engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as
permanent damage may occur.
