4.2.1 Fill fuel tank. For best results use only clean fresh regular grade unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Regular grade leaded gasoline
may also be used; however, combustion chamber and cylinder head will
require more frequent service. See Engine Owner's Manual.
Do not add oil to gasoline.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and
cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved
container.
♦
Always place gasoline containers on the ground 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 gas-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, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
♦
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
