DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and cause property damage.
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the
loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be
used, keep the nozzle in contact with the
rim of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until fueling is complete. Do Not
use a nozzle lock open device.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use
caution may cause serious injury or illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas
tank/container opening.
• Keep away from eyes and skin.
• Never siphon by mouth.
To help prevent fires:
•
Keep engine and engine area free from
accumulation of grass, leaves, excessive grease
or oil, and other debris which can accumulate in
these areas.
•
Clean up oil and fuel spills and remove fuel soaked
debris.
•
Allow the machine to cool before storing the
machine in any enclosure. Do Not store near
flame or any enclosed area where open pilot lights
or heat appliances are present.

Adding Fuel

Recommended Fuel

•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and
MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15%
ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains more than
10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains
15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85
(contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or
engine damage which may not be covered under
warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless you use a fuel
stabilizer.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to keep
the fuel fresh longer when used as directed by the
fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.
Important:
Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to fresh
fuel as directed by the fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Move the motion-control levers outward to the
P position.
ARK
3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
4. Clean around the fuel-tank cap.
5. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck
(Figure 8).
Note:
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
The empty space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand.
