Before
Starting
Mixing
Gasoline and Oil
Use
only 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 amount of gasoline you expect to use in 30 days.
Using unleaded gasoline results in fewer combustion
chamber deposits and longer spark plug life.
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.
IMPORTANT
: Do not use automotive oil (i.e. SAE 30,
10W30 etc.), a two-cycle oil that is not NMMA- or
TCW
-certified, or a fuel mixed at the wr
ong
gasoline/oil ratio. This can cause engine damage not
cover
ed under the T
or
o warranty
.
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.
