Stop the engine and open the cap.
Use unleaded automotive gasoline only.
• Unleaded regular/premium or reformulated gasoline
containing no more than 10% Ethanol (E10), or 15%
MTBE may also be used.
• Never use gasoline containing ethanol exceeding
10%, or MTBE exceeding 15% because engine or
fuel system damage could result.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline.
• Use of these non-recommended fuels may result in
reduced performance and/or denial of warranty.

Do not fill above the top of the fuel filter screen (marked q),
or the fuel may overflow when it heats up later and expands.
When filling the fuel tank, always use the fuel filter screen.
Reattach the fuel cap by turning clockwise until reaching
the physical stop (about one quarter turn). Do not attempt
to turn past the physical stop or the fuel cap may be
damaged.
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction
collapse.
Since the pump self-priming time is directly proportional to
hose length, a short hose is recommended.
Always use a strainer with the suction hose. Gravel
or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious
damage to the impeller and the pump casting.

Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the engine is
located on stable, level surface and stopped.
Do not screw the oil gauge into the oil filler neck to check
oil level. If the oil level is low, refill to the upper level with
the following recommended oil.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class
SE or higher grade (SG, SH or SJ is recommended).
Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the
time of operation as shown in the table. (See Fig.2

It is recommended that the water chamber of pump casing
should be primed with full of water before operating.
Never attempt to operate the pump without priming
water or the pump will overheat. Extended dry
operation will destroy the mechanical seal.
If the unit has been operated dry, stop the engine
immediately and allow the pump to cool before
adding priming water.
WARNING
Do not refuel while smoking, near an open flame
or other such potential fire hazards. Otherwise
fire accident may occur.
