• Never use fire.
• Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or
servicing the fuel system. Fill fuel tank only to
bottom of filler neck. Do not fill completely full.
The empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand, when it heats up. Never remove the fuel
tank cap or add fuel when the fuel tank is hot.
• Be sure to close the fuel tank cap after
refueling.
Check the fuel level. Take care that the fuel tank does
not become empty. When refueling it, park the machine
on a level surface.

IMPORTANT :
• Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Unleaded fuel is recommended. Regular leaded
gasoline with an octane rating index of 87 or
higher may be used. Avoid switching from
unleaded to regular gasoline to prevent engine
damage.
NOTE :
• Use fuel within approximately 30 days after
purchase to avoid deterioration in fuel quality,
or add fuel stabilizer to keep fuel fresh and
stabilized.
• Fuel blend differs from season to season for the
best seasonal engine performance. To prevent
engine performance troubles such as vapor
lock or hard starting, use fuel within the season
in which the fuel is purchased.
• Infrequent use of the engine during a season
can make fuel stale in the fuel tank of the
machine. Stale fuel condition can cause engine
performance troubles by varnish and plugged
carburetor components.
• Seal the fuel storage container tightly and store
it out of sunlight and heat to prevent fuel
degradation.
• Condensation in the fuel tank may occur
because of various operating or environmental
conditions. To reduce condensation and to
avoid affecting machine operation, fill the fuel
tank at the end of daily operation.
IMPORTANT :
• Do not use stale fuel.
• Fill fuel tank at the end of daily operation to
prevent condensation in the fuel tank.
