REFUELING
Recommended Fuel
Unleaded gasoline
U.S. Pump octane rating 86 or higher
Except U.S. Research octane rating 91 or higher
Pump octane rating 86 or higher
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher (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 gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks.
You may use unleaded gasoline 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 under the Warranty.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
please refer to the fuel section of the STORING YOUR ENGINE chapter
(see page 13) for additional information regarding fuel deterioration.
Never use gasoline that is stale, contaminated, or mixed with oil.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you
can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and let it cool.
• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to
spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel
is not covered under the Distributor's Limited Warranty. Move at
least 1 meter (3 feet) away from the fueling source and site before
starting the engine.
For refueling, refer to the manufacturer's instructions provided with
the equipment. See the following for a Honda supplied standard
fuel tank refueling instruction.
1. With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel
filler cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level
is low.
2. Add fuel to the bottom of the maximum fuel level limit of the fuel
tank. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the
engine.

Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending
on operating conditions. After refueling, screw the fuel filler cap
back on until it clicks.
Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric
appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental
damage. Wipe up spills immediately.

ENGINE OIL

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Recommended Oil
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for
API service category SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the
API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the
letters SJ or later (or equivalent).
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in
your area is within the indicated range.
Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown,
but do not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
3. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill with the recommended oil (see page 8) to the upper
limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.
