A CAUTION; Do not overfill the fue! tank. Always
allow room for fuel expansion.
A
WARNING;
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do

tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
If unleaded fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be
used.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois
ture 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. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may
occur.

source turned on and connected to pressure washer.
