Safety precautions
7. Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
8. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel vapor or
spilled fuel may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area
is dry before starting the engine.
9. Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure may
cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
10. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains
hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to
touch the muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire
hazards, let the engine cool before transporting it or storing it
indoors.
11. Never ship/transport sprayer with gasoline in the tank.
DO NOT use this equipment to spray water or acid.
Do not lift by cart handle when loading or unloading.
Device is very heavy. Three-person lift is required.
Attention
1.4 Fueling (gas engine)
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
Do not overfill the gas tank. Overfilling can cause
the gas cap to become clogged with any particles
in the gasoline which can cause a vaccum. Read
the gas engine's instruction manual for fueling
Attention
instructions.
Fuel Specifications
• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number of
86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 or
higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause persistent
"pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic rapping noise)
which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.
If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a steady
i
engine speed under normal load, change brands of
gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, consult
an authorized dealer of the engine manufacturer.
Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage
caused by misuse is not covered by the engine
manufacturer's limited warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark knock
while operating under heavy loads. This is no
cause for concern, it simply means your engine is
operating efficiently.
• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits
and extends the life of the exhaust system components.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
Gasolines Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be
sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by
the engine manufacturer. There are two types of "gasohol": one
containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use
gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also
contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never
use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has co-
GB
solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
Fuel system damage or engine performance
i
problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain
alcohol is not covered under the warranty. The
engine manufacturer cannot endorse the use of
fuels containing methanol since evidence of their
suitability is incomplete at this time.
Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar station, try
to find out if the gasoline contains alcohol. If it does,
confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If
you notice any undesirable operating characteristics
while using a gasoline that contains alcohol, or one
that you think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline
that you know does not contain alcohol.
1.5 Setting up on uneven surfaces
The front side of the unit must point downwards to prevent sliding
away.
