NOTE: The hour meter is preprogrammed for 
the initial oil change at 25 hours and for 100 
hours thereafter. The hour meter is 
programmed for the initial hydraulic oil and 
filter change at 75 hours and for 400 hours 
thereafter.
FILLING FUEL TANK
Add fuel to Fuel Tank as needed. See your 
Engine Manual for correct type and grade of 
fuel.
To add fuel to the fuel tank:
1. Clean fuel caps and surrounding area to 
prevent dust, dirt, and debris from 
entering fuel tanks.
2. Remove fuel caps.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Engine Manual for 
correct type and grade of fuel.
3. Fill fuel tank to the bottom of filler neck. 
See Specifications on page 33 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.
4. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
5. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.
GASOLINE
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use gasoline that 
meets the following guidelines:
Clean, fresh gasoline.
A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 
RON). High altitude use may require a 
different octane. Consult your engine 
manual.
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol 
(gasohol) or up to 10% MTBE (methyl 
tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable. 
Use of any gasoline other than those 
approved above will void the engine 
warranty. If the pumps are not marked 
for the content of alcohol or ethers, 
check ethanol and MTBE levels with 
the fuel supplier.
Do not modify the fuel system to use 
different fuels.
Never mix oil and gasoline.
NOTE: All gasoline is not the same. If the 
engine experiences starting or performance 
problems after using a new gasoline, switch 
to a different fuel provider or fuel brand.
IMPORTANT: Excessively oxygenated or 
reformulated fuels (fuels blended with 
alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel 
system or cause performance problems. If 
any undesirable operating problems occur, 
use a gasoline with a lower percentage of 
alcohol or ether.
Fuel Stabilizer
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.
PRE-START
1.  Check Safety Interlock System
If this system does not function as described 
do not operate until repairs are made.
2.  Check Air Cleaner
Check air filter for dirt. Clean as required. 
Follow Engine Manual Maintenance 
Schedule.
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. 
Read and understand entire 
Safety section before proceeding.
