CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not
store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

leads to separation and for ma tion of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. NOTE: Gasoline containing up to 10%
ethanol (E10) is acceptable for use in this machine. The
use of gasoline exceeding 10% ethanol (E10) will void
the product warranty. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before stor age of 30 days or
