Do not overfill. Wipe off spilled oil or fuel. Do
not store, spill or use gasoline near an open
flame.
The engine will run on a minimum of 87-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See
Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol
fuel is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based
fuel. Damage to the engine and components may

0°C, use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to
help insure good cold weather starting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine while
in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system must be emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next
season. See Storage for more information. Do
not use engine or carburetor cleaners in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
