To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage.All fuel is notthe
same. If you experiencestarting or performance problems
after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change
brands. This engine is certified to operateon gasoline. The
emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before
starting engine.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separationand
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas candamagethe
fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine performance issues,the fuel system should
betreated with a fuel preserver or emptied beforestorage of
30 days or longer. To protect the fuel system from gum
formation, use Briggs & Stratton FRESHSTARTTM fuel
stabilizer plus, or FRESHSTARTTM continuous fuel preserver
(concentrated liquid cartridge). If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
See"Storage" on page21 for additional information.
NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
