FUELING THE UNIT
WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors may
explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the
tank. Keep sparks and open flames at a distance from
the area.
WARNING:
Remove the fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel
spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap
securely in place.
WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area. Wipe
up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source
of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the engine until
fuel vapors dissipate.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and
property damage, handle it with care. Keep away from
ignition sources and open flames, handle outdoors only.
Pour fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.
Slowly remove the fuel cap after stopping the engine.
Do not smoke while fueling. Wipe spiled fuel from unit.
Move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fueling source
before starting engine.

long-sleeve shirt. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry,
short pants, sandals, or go barefoot.

USING THE RIGHT FUEL
The use of old fuel is the most common cause of
performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gasoline.
This unit has a four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil with
gasoline.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate, forming
acids when stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel (less than
30 days old) with less than 10% ethanol. Dispose of old
fuel according to federal, state and local regulations.

OPERATION
Using Blended Fuels
If using a blended fuel:
Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
Use the fuel additive STA-BIL
WARNING:
DO NOT USE E85 or E15 FUEL IN THIS UNIT. It has
been proven that fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol
will likely damage this engine and void the warranty.
USING FUEL ADDITIVES
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer or
an equivalent, to inhibit corrosion and minimize gum
deposits. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon
of fuel, according to the instructions on the container.
NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap by turning counterclockwise.
Rest the cap on a clean surface.
2. Carefully pour fuel into the tank until fuel reaches the
base of the tank spout. Avoid spillage.
3. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten by
turning it clockwise. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
NOTE: Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is
low, refill with unleaded fuel carefully without overfilling
and tighten the fuel tank cap immediately.
