
NOTICE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some
issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a
watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
– With gravity-fed supplies, the compromised gasoline can
be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the
engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are
formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s
warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the
engine to starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is
not in use for more than 30 days.

Water Pump Location
 DANGER
Water pump engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a colorless, odorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide
will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death.
If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.
OPERATE THE WATER PUMP OUTDOORS ONLY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA AND POINT EXHAUST AWAY.
DO NOT operate the water pump inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure
or compartment, including the storage compartment of a
recreational vehicle.
