Fuel and Fuel System Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive. Handle with care. Use only an approved gasoline container with an appropriately sized dispensing spout. • NO Smoking! • NO Sparks! • NO Flames! • Allow engine to cool before filling fuel tank. 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. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fill fuel tank to below bottom of filler neck to allow for fuel expansion. IMPORTANT: Refer to Engine Manual for proper fuel type and tank capacity. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lockopen device. Check fuel supply before starting engine. DO NOT fill gasoline tank indoors, when engine is running, or while engine is hot. Allow engine to cool several minutes before removing fuel cap. Replace gasoline tank cap securely and clean any spilled fuel before starting engine. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately. NEVER store fuel inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater. ALWAYS drain fuel outdoors away from ignition sources. ALWAYS shut off engine, and remove key, and close fuel shutoff valve when transporting unit on a truck or trailer. Emission Control System This equipment and/or its engine may include exhaust and evaporative emissions control system components required to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations. Tampering with emission controls and components by unauthorized personnel may result in severe fines or penalties. Emission controls and components can only be adjusted by an Ariens Company dealer or an authorized engine manufacturer's service center. Contact your Ariens Company Equipment Retailer concerning emission controls and component questions. GB - 8
