5. Fill fuel tank to within 1/2 in (1.27 cm)

below bottom of filler neck. See

Specifications on page 29 for fuel tank

capacity.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! This

equipment and/or its engine may include

evaporative emissions control system

components, required to meet EPA and/or

CARB regulations, that will only function

properly when the fuel tank has been filled to

the recommended level. Overfilling may

cause permanent damage to evaporative

emissions control system components. Filling

to the recommended level ensures a vapor

gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay

close attention while filling the fuel tank to

ensure that the recommended fuel level

inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a

portable gasoline container with an

appropriately sized dispensing spout when

filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other

device that obstructs the view of the tank

filling process.

6. Replace fuel cap and tighten.

7. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.

Fuel Stabilizer

IMPORTANT: Fuel stabilizer is recommended

for extended storage (see Add Fuel Stabilizer

on page 27).

Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended

periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,

resulting in gum deposits in the system.

These deposits can damage the carburetor

and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent

deposits from forming in the fuel system

during storage by adding a quality fuel

stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the

recommended mix ratio found on the fuel

stabilizer container.

stop unit in an emergency. Stop engine and

wait for all rotating parts to stop before

leaving operator’s position.

STARTING AND SHUT OFF

IMPORTANT: At start-up, allow unit and

engine to adjust to the outside temperature

before operating. Before shut-off, run unit a

few minutes to prevent freeze-up.

NOTE: Try out each control without the

engine running to see how they work and

what they do.

Manual Start

1. Make sure that traction clutch lever and

attachment clutch lever are fully

disengaged.

2. Turn engine shut-off switch to “ON”
