manual.
RECOMMENDED OiL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important.
Check the oil before each use and change the oil regularly. Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.
Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute)
service class SF, SG, SH.

Definition of Blended Fuels Hole
Today's fuels are often a blend of
gasoline and oxygenates such as Fig. 8
ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make
fuel and oil separate or form acids when stored. Use fresh fuel (less than 30
days old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.
Using Blended Fuels
If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow
recommended precautions:
• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL@ or an equivalent
• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors
may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep
sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING: Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor area. Wipe
up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for
spilt fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
