Note: To
ensure an accurate oil level reading, you must
fully install the dipstick.
7.
Remove the dipstick.
8.
Read the oil level on the dipstick.
9.
If the oil level is below the Full mark, slowly add oil,
checking the level frequently (steps 5 through 8), until
the dipstick reads Full.
IMPORTANT: Do
not overfill the crankcase and run
the engine; engine damage will r
esult. Drain the excess
oil until the oil level on the dipstick r
eads Full.
Filling
the Fuel T
ank W
ith
Gasoline
Use
clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline (including
oxygenated
or
reformulated
gasoline) with an octane rating of 87 or
higher. T
o ensure freshness, purchase only the quantity of
gasoline that can be used in 30 days. Using unleaded
gasoline results in fewer combustion chamber deposits
and longer spark plug life.
Engines certified to comply with California and U.S.
EP
A emission r
egulations for ULGE engines
are
certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline, include
EM and TWC (if so equipped) emission control systems,
and do not include any user adjustable features.
IMPORTANT: Do
not use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing mor
e than
10% ethanol, pr
emium gasoline, or white gas. Using
these fuels can damage the engine’
s fuel system.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
In certain conditions gasoline is extr
emely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHA
T CAN HAPPEN
•
A fir
e or explosion fr
om gasoline can burn you,
others, and cause pr
operty damage.
HOW T
O A
V
OID THE HAZARD
•
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open ar
ea, when the engine is cold. W
ipe up
any gasoline that spills.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4” to
1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand.
•
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away fr
om an open flame or wher
e gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Stor
e gasoline in an appr
oved container and
keep it out of the r
each of childr
en.
•
Never buy mor
e than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
When fueling, under certain cir
cumstances, a
static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline.
WHA
T CAN HAPPEN
•
A fir
e or explosion fr
om gasoline can burn you
and others and cause pr
operty damage.
HOW T
O A
V
OID THE HAZARD
•
Always place gasoline containers on the gr
ound
away from your vehicle befor
e filling.
•
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
•
When practical, r
emove gas–power
ed
equipment fr
om the truck or trailer and r
efuel
the equipment with its wheels on the gr
ound.
•
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer fr
om a portable
container
, rather than fr
om a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
•
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
