OPERATION

FUEL TANK

-Gasoline ONLY (see Engine Specifications Section for requirements).

Fill fuel tank at the end of each day’s operation to prevent condensation in the tank.

Drain and flush fuel tank every 1,000 hours or 12 months.

Avoid storing fuel over long periods of time. If fuel is stored for more than a month prior to use or there is a slow turnover in fuel tank or supply tank,
add a fuel conditioner to stabilize the fuel and prevent water condensation. Fuel conditioner also reduces fuel gelling and controls wax separation
during cold weather.

Proper fuel storage is critically important. Use clean storage and transfer tanks. Periodically drain water and sediment from the bottom of the tank.
Store fuel in a convenient place away from buildings.
