FILL GAS
1.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded regular, un-
leaded premium, or reformulated automotive gasoline a-
long with a fuel stabilizer (follow instructions on fuel
stabilizer package). DO NOT use leaded gasoline. We
recommend that fuel stabilizer be added to the fuel each
time that gasoline is added to the fuel tank.

NOTE: Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility to
improve starting. Be certain container is clean and
free from rust or other foreign particles. Never use
gasoline that may be stale from long periods of
storage in the container.

caution when handling or storing gasoline. Do
not add gasoline to the fuel tank while snow-
thrower is running, hot, or when snowthrower is in an
enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical
sparks and DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank.
Never fill the fuel tank completely; but fill the fuel tank
to within 1/4-1/2 inch (6.5-12.5 mm) from the top to pro-
vide space for the expansion of the fuel. Always fill fuel
tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spil-
ling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before start-
ing the engine.
Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep
the cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline in a
cool well ventilated place; never in the house. Never
buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline to assure
volatility. Gasoline Is intended to be used as a fuel for
internal combustion engines; therefore, do not use
gasoline for any other purpose. Since many children
like the smell of gasoline, keep it out of their reach be-
cause the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as be-
ing explosive.
