Fuel Information
• Gasoline (Gas) Specification
Use only fuel recommended in this section.
Your lift truck must use unleaded gasoline only.
Oxygenated Gasoline
Some gasoline sold at service stations contains oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, and MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether), although it may not be so identified. The use of fuels containing oxygenates is not
recommended.
Ethanol (Gasohol)
A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used in your lift truck pro-
vided the octane rating is at least as high as that recommended for unleaded gasoline.
Methanol
Do not operate your lift truck on gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol). The use of this type of
alcohol can result in lift truck performance problems and could damage critical fuel system parts.
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
A mixture of 15% or less MTBE and unleaded gasoline may be used in your lift truck provided the octane
rating is at least as high as that recommended for unleaded gasoline.
NOTICE: If you experience driving problems which you suspect are fuel related, try switching to a
different fuel.
