To add fuel to fuel tank:
1. ALWAYS place unit in open or well-ventilated
area.
2. Stop engine and allow to cool.
3. Clean Fuel Cap and surrounding area to prevent
dirt from entering Fuel Tank.
4. Remove Cap.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use gasohol or gasoline
containing alcohol. See Engine Manual for correct type
and grade of fuel.
5. Fill fuel tank to within 1/2 in. (1.2 cm) below
bottom of filler neck with unleaded gasoline.
NOTE: Tank capacity is 3.5 qt (3.3 L) (932041, 042,
141, 509, 510, 511) or 2 qt (1.96 L) (932040, 140).

Use the axle lock pins to lock or unlock the wheels.
Lock both wheels to increase traction; unlock one
wheel to allow for easier turning of the unit.
