IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended 
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) 
can attract moisture which leads to separation 
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic 
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine 
while in storage. To avoid engine problems, 
the fuel system should be emptied before 
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas 
tank, start the engine and let it run until the 
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh 
fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions 
for additional information. Never use engine 
or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or 
permanent damage may occur.

Gasoline is highly flammable.

become very hot during operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to 
cool at least two (2) minutes before

Gasoline fuel tanks
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is recommended that fuel be added to both 
tanks on initial start up.
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The 
machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just 
behind the seat. The capacity for each tank is 6 
gallons (11.4 liters).
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and 
keep the cap properly tightened.
The engine will run on a minimum of 87-octane 
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally 
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See Technical 
Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not 
allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage 
to the engine and components may occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.), 
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure 
good cold weather starting.
