C. Filling Fuel Tank

An adult should fuel this engine.

NEVER allow children to refuel this

engine. Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and

can explode. Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a

spark or flame many feet away from engine. To prevent

injury or death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:

1. Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling.

2. Be sure engine is outdoors and in a well-ventilated

area.

3. Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove fuel fill cap.

See Figure 7 on page 5. Afterward, continue reading

instructions below.

4. Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel

slowly, being careful to avoid spilling. DO NOT overfill

fuel tank. Leave space in the tank to allow fuel to

expand without overflowing.

5. Replace anti-splash fuel fill cap securely and wipe up

spilled fuel before starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO

NOT start engine. Move machine away from area of

spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel

vapors are gone.

NOTE

Replace a damaged or missing gas cap only with a genuine

Tecumseh replacement anti-splash fuel fill cap. Failure to do

so may VOID YOUR WARRANTY. See Figure 10.

6. Be sure fuel valve (optional) is open. See Figure 11.
