Engine Oil; Recommended Oil; Ambient Temperature; Oil Level Check - Honda iGX440 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending
on operating conditions. After refueling, screw the fuel filler cap
back on until it clicks.
Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues,
electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental
damage. Wipe up spills immediately.
