REFUELING
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol with a research
octane rating of 91 or higher.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine
has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine inside a
building where petrol fumes may reach flames or sparks.
You may use regular unleaded petrol containing no more than 10%
ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol must
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content
of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above may cause starting
and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and
plastic parts of the fuel system. Engine damage or performance
problems that result from using a fuel with percentages of ethanol or
methanol greater than shown above are not covered by warranty.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
please refer to the fuel section of the STORAGE chapter (page 13) for
additional information regarding fuel deterioration
B
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture. Avoid
getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
To refuel, remove the fuel
tank cap [1], and fill the
tank with petrol to the
shoulder of the filler neck.
Refuel carefully to avoid
spilling fuel. Do not overfill.
After refueling, tighten the
fuel tank cap securely.
Move the pump at least
3 meters away from the
fueling source and site
before starting the engine.
NOTICE
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered by
