Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits
and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear a light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’
(metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is
no cause for concern.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.

The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types) will automatically
stop the engine before the oil level falls below safe limit. However,
to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool. Refuel carefully to avoid
