• Gasolinewith upto 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%
MTBE (methyltertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
HI:ITICE
Avoid pressure washer damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85.
DONOTmixoil in gasoline.
DONOTmodifyengineto runon alternatefuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizer whenadding fuel. SeeStorage.All fuel is not the
same. If you experiencestarting or performanceproblems
after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change
brands. This engine is certified to operateon gasoline. The
emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine
Modifications).
WARHING
f_ Fueland its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fireor explosion can causesevere burns or
death.
WHENADDINGFUEL

. DONOTlighta cigaretteor smoke.
1. Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (U). Be
careful notto overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (g) of tank
spacefor fuel expansion.
3. Installfuel cap and wait for any spilledfuelto evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
Toavoid engine problems, the fuel system should betreated
with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engineand let it run until the fuel
linesand carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
HighAItitMe
At altitudes over5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause
decreasedperformance, increased fuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters)with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.
