OXYGENATED FUELS
Some conventional petrols are blended with alcohol or an ether
compound. This type of petrol is collectively referred to as
oxygenated fuels.
If using an oxygenated fuel, make sure it is unleaded and meets
the minimum octane rating requirements. Before using an
oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel's contents. Some areas
require this information to be posted on the pump. The following
are the EPA approved percentages of oxygenates:
Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use
petrol containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Petrol containing
English(Original instructions)
ethanol may be marketed under the name "Gasohol." Do not use
E85 fuel.
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You may
use petrol containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You may
use petrol containing up to 5% methanol by volume as long as it
also contains co solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the
fuel system. Petrol containing more than 5% methanol by volume
may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also
damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the product or your
fuel system. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try
another service station or switch to another brand of Petrol.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting
from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the
percentages of oxygenates stated previously are not covered
under warranty.
ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 17.
Engine lubricant has a major influence on engine performance
and service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE 20W-50 is
recommended. Always use a 4-stroke motor lubricant that meets or
exceeds the requirements.
NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will damage
the engine and should not be used.
To add engine lubricant:
 Remove the cap and seal from lubricant bottle provided.
 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
  U sing the funnel provided, add the entire bottle of engine
 Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick and secure.
To check engine lubricant level:
 Set engine on a flat surface. Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and
 Wipe the dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not screw
down.
  R emove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant
  I f level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises to
 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the engine above waist level.
