Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and keep the cap properly tightened. The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See also Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage to engine and components may occur. When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to insure good cold weather starting. WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable. Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors (see the safety instruction). WARNING! The engine and the exhaust system, become very hot during operation. Risk for burns if touched. Allow engine and exhaust system to cool before refueling. WARNING! Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame. Fuel tank 8058-246 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next season. See Storage for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. 23
