1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Fill to red
level indicator (A). Be careful not to overfill.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before
starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To
remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and
increased emissions. See an Authorized Briggs & Stratton
dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with
the high altitude kit is not recommended.

You will need the following tool to install the hoses to the
trash pump:
• 1/4" or 6mm standard screwdriver

be reinforced with a non-collapsible wall or braided material.
DO NOT use a hose with an inside diameter smaller than the
pumps suction port size.
1. Slide barb cuff (B) over hose barb (C). Insert rubber
seal (D) into end of barb cuff.
