When fueling, under certain circumstances, a

static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline.

A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you

and others and damage property.

• Always place gasoline containers on the

ground and away from your vehicle before

filling.

• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a

vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because

interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners

may insulate the container and slow the loss

of any static charge.

• When practical, remove gasoline-powered

equipment from the truck or trailer and

refuel the equipment with its wheels on the

ground.

• If this is not possible, then refuel such

equipment on a truck or trailer from a

portable container, not from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

• If you must use a gasoline dispenser nozzle,

keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of

the fuel tank or container opening at all

times until fueling is complete.

Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner regularly during

operation and storage. A stabilizer/conditioner cleans

the engine during operation and prevents gum-like

varnish deposits from forming in the engine during

periods of storage.

Important: Do not use fuel additives other than

a fuel stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel

stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol,

methanol, or isopropanol.

2. Remove the fuel tank cap.

3. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline to within

1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) from the top of the

tank. Do not fill into the filler neck.

Note: The fuel tank capacity is 2.1 quarts. (2.0 L).

Important: Do not fill the tank more than 1/4

inch (6 mm) from the top of the tank because

the gasoline must have room to expand.

4. Install the fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled

gasoline.
