Please carefully read all of the safety instr uctions and decals in the safety section. Kno wing this infor mation could help y ou or b ystanders a v oid injur y .

Checking the Engine Oil Level

Chec k the engine oil lev el before eac h use or ev er y 8 operating hours , refer to Chec king the Engine Oil Lev el in Engine Maintenance , pag e 21 .

Filling the Fuel Tank

Important: Nev er use methanol, gasoline

containing methanol, gasohol containing mor e than 10% ethanol, gasoline additi v es, pr emium gasoline, or white gas because the fuel system could be dama ged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Gasoline is har mful or f atal if s w allo w ed. Long-ter m exposur e to v apor s can cause serious injur y and illness.

• A v oid pr olonged br eathing of v apor s.

• K eep f ace a w ay fr om nozzle and gas tank or

conditioner opening .

• K eep gas a w ay fr om ey es and skin.

In cer tain conditions, gasoline is extr emel y ﬂamma ble and highl y explosi v e. A ﬁr e or explosion fr om gasoline can bur n y ou and other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Fill the fuel tank outdoor s, in an open

ar ea, when the engine is cold. W ipe up an y gasoline that spills.

• Do not ﬁll the fuel tank completel y full. Add

gasoline to the fuel tank until the lev el is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) belo w the bottom of the ﬁller neck. T his empty space in the tank allo ws gasoline to expand.

• Nev er smok e when handling gasoline, and

stay a w ay fr om an open ﬂame or wher e gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spar k.

Figure 15

• Stor e gasoline in an appr o v ed container and

k eep it out of the r each of childr en. Nev er buy mor e than a 30-day suppl y of gasoline.

• Al w ays place gasoline container s on the

g r ound a w ay fr om y our v ehicle bef or e ﬁlling .

• Do not ﬁll gasoline container s inside a

v ehicle or on a tr uck or trailer bed because interior car pets or plastic tr uck bed liner s may insulate the container and slo w the loss of an y static charge.

• W hen practical, r emo v e gas-po w er ed

equipment fr om the tr uck or trailer and r efuel the equipment with its wheels on the g r ound.

• If this is not possible, then r efuel such

equipment on a tr uck or trailer fr om a por ta ble container , rather than fr om a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,

k eep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
