Fueling (gas engine)

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.

• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling area or where gasoline is stored.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.

• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.

• Keep out of the reach of children.

Fuel Specifications

• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause persistent "pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.

NOTE: If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a

Gasolines Containing Alcohol

If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by the engine manufacturer types of "gasohol": one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

NOTE: Fuel system damage or engine performance

steady engine speed under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, consult an authorized dealer of the engine manufacturer. Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by the engine manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Occasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means your engine is operating efficiently.

• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system components.

• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.

. There are two

problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty. The engine manufacturer cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their suitability is incomplete at this time.

Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the gasoline contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any undesirable operating characteristics while using a gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol.

Proper grounding is important. This applies to both gas and electric powered models. The passage of some materials through the nylon fluid hose will build up a static electric charge, which if discharged, could ignite solvent vapors present and create an explosion.

9. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble free operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the inlet screen and gun filter.

10 Make sure the spray area is well ventilated to prevent

hazardous operation with volatile solvents or exhaust fumes.

If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be sprayed, ALWAYS locate the unit outside the immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may cause an explosion.

11. Locate the unit outside the immediate spraying area to avoid clogged air intake of the engine or electric motor with overspray.
