Fuel Recommendations

WARNING: Explosive Fuel!

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can

explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved

containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,

away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank

while the engine is hot or 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 capacity

of 2 gallons or less with a pouring spout is

recommended. Such a container is easier to handle

and helps eliminate spillage during refueling.

Oil Recommendations

Using the proper type and weight of oil in the

crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil

daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the

correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine

wear and failure.

Oil Type

Use high quality detergent oil of API (American

Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or

higher. Synthetic oils may be used. Select the viscosity

based on the air temperature at the time of operation as

shown in the following table.

Figure 2. Viscosity Grades Table.

NOTE: Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or

higher oil or extending oil change intervals

longer than recommended can cause engine

damage.

NOTE: Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications

may be used with oil changes performed at

the recommended intervals. However to allow

piston rings to properly seat, a new or rebuilt

engine should be operated for at least 50

*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is acceptable,

up to 4°C (40°F).

**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold below

23°C (-10°F).

hours using standard petroleum based oil

before switching to synthetic oil.

A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API

service class and SAE viscosity grade. See Figure 3.
