REFUELING

Recommended Fuel
Unleaded gasoline
U.S. Pump octane rating 86 or higher
Except U.S. Research octane rating 91 or higher
Pump octane rating 86 or higher
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane rating of 86 or higher (a research octane rating of 91
or higher).
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the
engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames
or sparks.
You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than
10% Ethanol (E10) or 5% Methanol by volume. In addition,
Methanol must contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of
fuels with content of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown
above may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may
also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the fuel system.
Engine damage or performance problems that result from using a
fuel with percentages of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown
above are not covered under warranty.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you
can be burned or seriously injured when refueling.
Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Refuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to
spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled
fuel is not covered under the Distributor's Limited Warranty.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Move at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from the fueling source and
site before starting the engine.
1. With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel
filler cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level
is low.
2. Add fuel to the bottom of the fuel level mark of the fuel tank. Do
not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine.

3. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level
depending on operating conditions. After refueling, tighten the
fuel filler cap securely.
Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues,
electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental
damage. Wipe up spills immediately.
