High­ Altitude

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel stabilizer when adding fuel.See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If you experience starting or performance problems after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change brands.This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

Lubricate O-Rings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation and operation.The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic grease) during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and provides an improved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring from damage by abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.

NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on o rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the pump
