Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if
equipped) will either stop the engine or activate a warning
device on the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine
and check the oil level with the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it
reaches the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for
proper pressure before continuing to operate.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, 

do

not start 

the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have

the oil pressure problem corrected.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High alti-

tude use, see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 

15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

CAUTION: 

Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as

E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run
on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine compo-
nents and 

void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. See the 

Storage 

section. All fuel is

not the same. If starting or performance problems occur,
change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is
certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control
system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1,524 meters), a minimum 85
octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.
Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased
emissions. See an authorized dealer for high altitude ad-
justment information. 

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762
meters) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Adding Fuel

OPERATION

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable 
and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or 
death.

When Adding Fuel

•  Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 

minutes before removing the fuel cap.

•  Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
•  Do not overfill fuel tank. To allow for expansion of 

the fuel, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank 
neck.

•  Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot 

lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•  Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently 

for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

•  If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting 

engine.

1.  Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove 

the fuel cap (

A

, Figure 5).

2.  Fill the fuel tank (

B

) with fuel. To allow for expansion 

of the fuel, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank 
neck (

C

).

3.  Reinstall the fuel cap.

Starting the Engine

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable 
and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or 
death.

When Starting Engine

•  Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air 

cleaner (if equipped) are in place and secured.

•  Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
•  If engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN/RUN

position, move throttle (if equipped) to FAST position 
and crank until engine starts.
