IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!
This equipment and/or its engine may include 
evaporative emissions control system components, 
required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that 
will only function properly when the fuel tank has 
been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling 
may cause permanent damage to evaporative 
emissions control system components. Filling to the 
recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to 
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while 
lling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended 
fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a 
portable gasoline container with an appropriately 
sized dispensing spout when lling the tank. Do not 
use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view 
of the tank lling process.
If the engine is hot, 
closing the choke is not 
necessary.

Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive. You can 
be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
