Fuel Recommendations
Useautomotivegasoline(unleadedor low leadedto minimizecombus-
tionchamberdeposits)with a minimumof 87octane.Gasolinewith
upto 10%ethanolor 15%MTBE(MethylTertiaryButyl Ether)canbe
used.Neverusean oil/gasolinemixtureor dirtygasoline.Avoidgetting
dirt,dust,or waterinthefuel tank. DO NOTuse E85gasoline.
* Refuelin awell-ventilatedareawith the engine stopped.Donot
smokeor allowflamesor sparksin the area wheretheengineis
refueledor wheregasolineisstored.
* Do notoverfillthe fuel tank.After refueling,makesurethe tank
cap is closedproperlyandsecurely.
* Be carefulnot to spillfuel when refueling.Spilledfuelor fuelvapor
mayignite.Ifany fuel isspilled,makesurethe areaisdry before
startingtheengine.
* Avoidrepeatedor prolongedcontactwith skin or breathingof
vapor.
Adding Fuel
Useextremecarewhenhandlinggasoline.Gasolineis extremely
flammableandthe vaporsare explosive. Neverfuel the machine
indoorsorwhile the engineishotor running.Extinguishcigarettes,
cigars,pipesandother sourcesof ignition.
Alwayskeephandsandfeetclear of equipmentmovingparts.Do not
usea pressurizedstartingfluid.Vaporsare flammable.

2. Insertthe cap/dipstickinto the oil filler neck,turn thecap 1/4turn until
fully seated.
NOTE:On someengines,a threadedcap/dipstickmayexist insteadof
a 1/4turn capas describedabove.In this instancedo notfullytighten
the cap to check theoil level.Simplyrestthe capon the threadsto
check for properoil level.
3. Removethe oil filler cap/dipstick. Ifthe levelis low,slowlyadd oil until
oil levelregistersbetweenhigh (H) andlow (L), Figure7. Referto the
EngineMaintenancesectionfor correctoil viscosityandengine oil
capacity.
NOTE:Do notoverfill.Overfillingwith oil mayresult in enginesmoking,
hardstartingor sparkplugfouling.
4. Replaceandtighten cap/dipstickfirmly beforestartingengine.
