General Questions
- For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
- Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE by volume is acceptable.
- Do Not use ethanol blends of gasoline (such as E15 or E85) with more than 10% ethanol by volume. Performance problems
- and/or engine damage may result which may not be covered under warranty.
- Do Not use gasoline-containing methanol.
- Do Not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
- Do Not add oil to gasoline.
DANGER In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.
- Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
- Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
- Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
- Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark. a spark may ignite gasoline.
- Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
- Do not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.
DANGER In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark, which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.
- Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
- Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
- When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.
- If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
- If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the traction unit to provide the following benefits:
- Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less. For longer storage, it is recommended that the fuel tank be drained.
- Cleans the engine while it runs
- Eliminates gum-like varnish build up in the fuel system, which causes hard starting.
- Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas..
- Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the loader arms, and stop the engine.
- Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
- Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it. Note: The cap is tethered to the fuel tank.
- Add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
Important: This space in the tank allows gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
- Install the fuel tank cap securely, turning it until it clicks.
