Refueling:

Use any regular grade automotive gasoline (unleaded gasoline is preferred) with a

pump octane rating of 86 or’higher. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture. Prevent dirt,

dust or water from entering the fuel tank.

CAUTION: Gasoline substitutes are not recommended: they may be harmfull to the

fuel system components.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY: 3.5 Q (0.92 US gal, 0.77 Imp. gal.)

* Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel

in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.

* Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the snow thrower is

being refueled or where gasoline is stored.

* Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite.

Make sure the area is dry of spilled fuel before starting the engine.

* DQ not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refuel-

ing, make sure the fuel cap is closed securely.

* Do not refuel in snow because snow will get into fuel tank and cause engine

malfunction.
