FILL GAS:
The engine is certified to comply with
California and US EPA emission regula-
tions for ULGE (Utility or Lawn and Gar-
den Equipment)engines. ULGE
engines are certified to operate on reg-
ular unleaded gasoline.
_ ARNING: Alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or
those using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage.
NOTE: To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system must be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer. Start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season. See the Storage sec-
tion in this manual for additional infor-
mation.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
Fill the fuel tank only with a fresh,
clean, unleaded regular, unleaded pre-
mium, or reformulated automotive gas-
oline. DO NOT use leaded gasoline.
Make sure that the container you pour
the gasoline from is clean and free from
rust or other foreign particles. Never
use gasoline that may be stale from
long periods of storage in the container.
Fuel Tank
Figure 17
_ ARNING: Gasoline is flam-
mable. Always use caution
when handling or storing
gasoline.
• Do not fill fuel tank while snow
thrower is running, when it is hot,
or when snow thrower is in an en-
closed area.
• Keep away from open flame or an
electrical spark and do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank.
• Never fill the tank completely. Fill
the tank to within 1/4"-1/2" from
the top to provide space for ex-
pansion of fuel.
• Always fill fuel tank outdoors and
use a funnel or spout to prevent
spilling.
• Make sure to wipe up any spilled
fuel before stating the engine.
• Store gasoline in a clean, ap-
proved container and keep the
cap in place on the container.
