WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
conditioner bottle opening.
• Avoid contact with skin; wash off spillage with
soap and water.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine 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 buildup in the fuel system,
which causes hard starting
Important: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to
the gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective
when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance
of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer
at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Set the throttle to slow, turn off the engine switch, and
wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it (Figure 8).
Note: The cap is tethered to the fuel tank.

4. Add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level
is just inside the mesh filter basket.
Important: This space in the tank allows gasoline
to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely.
6. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
Compacting Asphalt
When using the machine on asphalt, the water system is used
to wet the surface of the compactor to prevent the asphalt
from sticking to the compactor.
Adding Water with the Tank Installed
1. Remove the cap from the water tank (Figure 9).
