Normal Transport Deep Cutting Figure 15 OS7111 FILLING FUEL TANK WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding. GASOLINE IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use gasoline that meets the following guidelines: • Clean, fresh gasoline. • A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use may require a different octane. Consult your engine manual. • Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 10% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable. • Use of any gasoline other than those approved above will void the engine warranty. If the pumps are not marked for the content of alcohol or ethers, check ethanol and MTBE levels with the fuel supplier. • Do not modify the fuel system to use different fuels. • Never mix oil and gasoline. NOTE: All gasoline is not the same. If the engine experiences starting or performance problems after using a new gasoline, switch to a different fuel provider or fuel brand. IMPORTANT: Excessively oxygenated or reformulated fuels (fuels blended with alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating problems occur, use a gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether. Add Fuel Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life IMPORTANT: Fuel stabilizer is recommended for extended storage (see Fuel System on page 30). Add Fuel to Fuel Tank 1. ALWAYS place unit in open or wellventilated area. 2. Stop engine and allow to cool. 3. Clean Fuel Cap and surrounding area to prevent dirt from entering Fuel Tank. 4. Remove fuel caps. IMPORTANT: Refer to Engine Manual for correct type and grade of fuel. 5. Fill fuel tank to the bottom of filler neck. See SPECIFICATIONS on page 33 for fuel tank capacity. IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! This equipment and/or its engine may include evaporative emissions control system components, required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that will only function properly when the fuel tank has been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling may cause permanent damage to evaporative emissions control system components. Filling to the recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while filling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a portable gasoline container with an appropriately sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view of the tank filling process. 6. Replace fuel cap and tighten. 7. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel. EN - 17
