running, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact
with hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the
engine near spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a cleaning
agent.
General Recommendations
Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store
in clean, approved containers. A container with a
ŒŠ™ŠŒ’¢1˜1X1Š••˜—œ1˜›1•Žœœ1 ’‘1Š1™˜ž›’—1œ™˜ž1’œ1
recommended. Such a container is easier to handle
and helps eliminate spillage during refueling.

should be 90 octane minimum.
Unleaded gasoline is recommended, as it leaves less
combustion chamber deposits. Leaded gasoline may
be used in areas where unleaded is not available
and exhaust emissions are not regulated. Be aware
however, using unleaded gasoline will require more
frequent cylinder head servicing.

Remove the spark plug. Add one tablespoon of
engine oil into the spark plug hole. Reinstall the
plug, but do not connect the plug lead. Crank the
engine two or three revolutions.
5. Remove the spark plug. Cover the spark plug
hole with your thumb and turn the engine over
until the piston is at the top of its stroke (pressure
against the thumb is greatest). Reinstall the spark
plug, but do not connect the plug lead.
6. Store the engine in a clean, dry place. Never store
