FUEL SYSTEM
Refueling
Fuel Tank Capacity: 0.6 US qt (1.2 US pt, 0.55 )
Check the fuel level by looking through the translucent
fuel tank.
If the fuel level is low, refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine has been running, allow
it to cool first.
To refuel, set the tiller on level ground. Remove the fuel tank cap, and fill the tank with gasoline to the bottom of the
filler neck. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not overfill. There should not be fuel in the filler neck. After
refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely. Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may
reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power
tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage. Wipe up spills immediately.
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling source location before starting the engine.
NOTICE
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled
fuel is not covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty (see page 39).
Fuel Recommendations
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear a light “spark knock” or “pinging” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy
loads. This is no cause for concern.
If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark
knock or pinging persists, see an authorized Honda servicing dealer.
NOTICE
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does
not cover parts damaged by misuse (see page 39).
 WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and
flames away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
