Modifying or Tampering with the evaporative emissions con-
trol system or the fuel system is prohibited. Federal law and
California State law prohibit the following acts or the causing
thereof:
1. The removal or rendering inoperative by any person
other than for purposes of maintenance, repair,
replacement, of any device or element of design incor-
porated into any equipment for the purposes of emis-
sions control prior to or after its sales or delivery to the
ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or
2. The use of the equipment after such device or element

Figure 4-4
Park the mower on level ground before filling fuel tank.
Clean the area around the fuel cap before removing the
cap. Remove the fuel cap slowly.
When threading the fuel cap onto the filler neck, tighten the
cap until it begins to click, then, continue to turn it until at
least three clicks are heard.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the fuel tank. The fuel tank
should be filled
no higher than the bottom of the fill neck.
(Figure 4-5) The fuel system is designed to leave room for the
fuel to expand with fuel temperature changes.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87
or higher. Maximum of 10% ethanol (E10) in fuel. Fuels with
greater than 10% ethanol (such as E15, E20 and E85) voids
warranty. Fuels with greater than 10% ethanol are not
approved for use and such illegal use could cause equipment
failure and pose a fire hazard.
Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for additional fuel spec-
ification requirements.
Use of replacement parts not equivalent to the
original parts may result in system failure and
pose a safety hazard.
