HANDLING FUEL
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS -
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the
required amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of two-stroke oil to
gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with
gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container,
and remix.
IMPORTANT
• Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon
emissions. Some states may require the use of
automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel
spillage.
• Stored fuel ages.
Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in
thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel
stabilizer is added.
• Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS
shake fuel container thoroughly before each
use.
AFTER USE -
DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can
occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel
storage container.
STORAGE -
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your
local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight
container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied
building, away from sparks and flames.
DANGER
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care
when mixing, storing or handling or serious
personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure.
Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing
pressure to equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is
HOT!
• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine
running.
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors.
ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare
ground.
• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.

If fuel leakage is found, do not start or
operate unit until leakage is repaired.
• Move at least 3 m (10 feet) from refueling
location before starting the engine.

EMISSION CONTROL
(EXHAUST and EVAPORATIVE) EPA 2010 and/
or C.A.R.B. TIER III
The emission control system for the engine is EM/
TWC (Engine Modification and 3-way Catalyst) and
for the fuel tank the Control System is EVAP
(Evaporative Emissions) or N (for nylon tank).
Evaporative emission may be applicable to

An Emission Control Label
is located on the
engine. (This is an example only, information on
label varies by engine family).
PRODUCT EMISSION DURABILITY
(EMISSION COMPLIANCE PERIOD)
The 300 hours emission compliance period is
the time span selected by the manufacturer
certifying the engine emissions output meets
applicable emissions regulations, provided that
approved maintenance procedures are followed
as listed in the Maintenance Section of this
manual.
