General Information and Setup
6. Install oil dipstick/fill cap and hand-tighten.
7. Clean up any spilled oil.
Adding Fuel
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as
the fuel hose or fuel tank during storage. Alcohol-
based fuels (gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) can
attract moisture, which leads to separation and for-
mation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-
age an engine fuel system. The fuel system must be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer to avoid
engine problems. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent dam-
age may occur.
NOTE: Never use contaminated gasoline or mixed gaso-
line with oil. Do not allow dust, foreign matter or water to
enter into the fuel tank.
Proceed as follows to add fuel:
1. Place unit on a firm, level surface in a well venti-
lated area.
2. Verify unit is OFF and cooled for a minimum of two
minutes.
3. Clean area around fuel cap and remove cap slowly.
4. Slowly add recommended fuel. Do not overfill.
5. Install fuel fill cap.
6. Clean up any spilled fuel.
NOTE: Allow spilled fuel to evaporate before starting
unit.
