WARNING
2.8 ADD MOTOR OIL
2.9 FILL THE FUEL TANK
You will need to purchase a battery. Choose a battery that
meets or exceeds the engine manufacturer’s specifications.
Consult your engine owner’s manual or authorized dealer
for specification details.
Check the oil level and, if needed, fill the engine crankcase
with the type and amount of oil specified in the engine
owner’s manual.
WARNING
Gasoline and diesel fuels are highly flammable and
their vapors are explosive. To prevent personal
injury or property damage:
Store fuel only in approved containers, in well
ventilated, unoccupied buildings, away from sparks
or flames. A container with a capacity of 2 gallons
or less with a pouring spout is recommended. Do not fill the
fuel tank while the engine is hot or running, since spilled fuel
could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or sparks from
ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use
fuel as a cleaning agent. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH FUEL.
Use only those types of fuels that are recommended in
your engine owner’s manual.
To add fuel:
1. Stop engine, wait for all parts to stop moving and
disconnect spark plug wire. Remove key from key
switch. Allow the engine and muffler to cool for at least
three minutes.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove cap.
3. Using a clean funnel, fill fuel tank to 1/2” below bottom
of filler neck to provide space for any fuel expansion.
Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
