E. 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 14 on page 7. Afterward, continue reading
instructions below.
NOTE
For recommended fuel, see Table 3 on page 4. See "III. Oil
and Fuel Specifications" instructions on page 4.
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 fuel fill cap only with a
genuine Tecumseh replacement anti-splash fuel fill cap.
Failure to do so may VOID YOUR WARRANTY
See Figure 15.
6. Be sure fuel valve, if present (see equipment manufac-
turer’s instructions) is open. See Figure 16.

connecting the power cord to, before you start your engine.
