DO NOT OVERFILL FUEL TANK
Overlling the fuel tank can result in carbon canister damage (if equipped), poor engine
performance, and void the warranty. To avoid these hazards, do not ll the fuel tank
above the maximum level.
1. Check fuel with pump on a level surface with the engine o.
2. Read fuel gauge and ll fuel tank if needed. For fuel gage location see the COMPONENT
LOCATIONS section of this manual.
3. Do not use gasoline that is older than 30 days. Use only clean and fresh regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Do
not use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethyl alcohol. E15, E20, and E85 are not
approved fuels and should not be used.
4. Do not to ll the fuel tank above the maximum fuel level to allow room for fuel expansion.

Maximum Fuel Level
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such
as the carburetor, fuel lter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (also
called gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel and gum deposits can damage the engine’s
fuel system while in storage. Eects of old, stale, or contaminated fuel are not covered
under warranty.
NOTE: Using a fuel stabilizer (sold separately) when storing gasoline will help prevent
problems related to ethanol alcohol in outdoor power equipment engines. Always follow
the instructions provided by the fuel stabilizer manufacturer to mix and use correctly.
