Maximum Fuel Level

NOTE: Using a fuel stabilizer (sold separately) when storing gasoline can help prevent

problems related to storing ethanol alcohol blended gasoline. Always follow the instructions

provided by the fuel stabilizer manufacturer to mix and use correctly.

NOTICE

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. Damage caused by the use of old, stale, or contaminated

fuel are not covered under warranty.
