It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such
as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (also
called gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel and gum deposits can damage the engine's
fuel system while in storage. Damage caused by the use of old, stale, or contaminated
fuel are not covered under warranty.
Overfilling the fuel tank can result in carbon canister damage (if equipped), poor engine
performance, and void the warranty. To avoid these hazards, do not fill the fuel tank
above the maximum level.
1.
Check fuel with the engine off and pressure washer on a level surface.
2.
Remove fuel tank cap, check fuel level, then fill fuel tank if needed. For fuel cap location
see the COMPONENT LOCATIONS section of this manual.
3.
Do not use gasoline that is older than 30 days. Use only clean and fresh regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Do not use
gasoline that contains more than 10% ethyl alcohol. E15, E20, and E85 are not approved
fuels and should not be used.
4.
Do not to fill the fuel tank above the maximum fuel level to allow room for fuel expansion.
For fuel capacity see the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
5.
Replace fuel tank cap. Never run engine without fuel cap installed.
NOTE: Using a fuel stabilizer (sold separately) when storing gasoline can help prevent
problems related to storing ethanol alcohol blended gasoline. Always follow the instructions
provided by the fuel stabilizer manufacturer to mix and use correctly.
