Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or
higher.
These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
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

way. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container to
your local recycling center or service station for reclamation.
Do not throw it in the trash; pour it on the ground; or down a
drain.
