Fuel
c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Handle fuel with care, it is highly flammable: · DO NOT refuel machine while you smoke, when machine is near an open flame or sparks, or when engine is running. STOP engine. · Fill fuel tank outdoors. · Prevent fires: clean oil, grease and dirt from machine. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. · Do not store machine with fuel in tank in a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. · To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge, while you fill tank, use a non-metal fuel container. If you use a funnel, MAKE SURE it is PLASTIC. Avoid using a funnel which has a metal screen or filter. · Use only clean approved containers and funnels. · Store oil and fuel in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contamination. · Dispose of stale or unwanted fuels correctly. DO NOT dump on ground. Add fuel to automobile fuel tank or take to a recycling center. · DO NOT use METHANOL gasoline. METHANOL is harmful to the environment and to your health. |
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Avoid spilling fuel. Fuel can damage plastic and painted surfaces. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. Unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher is recommended. Fuel tank capacity is 3.8 L (1 gal.). |
Dirt in the fuel system is a major cause of performance problems. Be sure to clean the top of the tank before removing lid. Use of a PLASTIC funnel with a plastic mesh strainer when filling the tank will prevent most foreign material from entering the tank.
Regular grade 87 octane unleaded fuel is recommended for use in your snowblower. Higher octane fuels will seldom make your snowblower perform better. If your snowblower develops a starting or performance problem immediately after use of new fuel, change supplier or fuel brand. If the problem still exists after switching fuel, see your John Deere dealer for service.
Fuels are blended to give peak performance during cold weather and warm weather. For cold weather, gasoline is specially blended to provide better starting capabilities. However, avoid prolonged storage of cold-weather blended fuel because it will evaporate more quickly. You may experience longer cranking times in cold weather with 'old' fuel. Buy smaller amounts of cold-weather blended fuel in winter.
Fuels used during the summer are not required to provide improved starting properties so they are blended differently. As a result, you may experience hard starting or other performance problems during cold weather if you use fuel remaining from summer uses.
Many areas are now required to add 'oxygenates' (either alcohol or ether) which blend oxygen into the fuel to help reduce exhaust emissions. If you use oxygenated fuel be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement. DO NOT use fuel that contains methanol to avoid producing excess emissions.
Although fuels blended with alcohol or ether allow your engine to run cleaner, they may contribute to fuel system damage and performance problems by causing gum and varnish deposits, especially if fuel is stored for several weeks or more.
Using clean, fresh fuel will help to prevent damage to the fuel system and will help maintain peak engine performance. If engine performance problems occur, use fuel from another supplier before suspecting machine problems. Suppliers blend fuels differently and changing suppliers will generally solve any performance problems.
The best thing you can do to ensure peak performance of your engine is to use 'fresh' fuel. Your snowblower's engine will perform well with most good-quality fresh fuels regardless of additives. Any fuel will begin to deteriorate and evaporate over time and begin to form gum and varnish deposits in the fuel system. Help to avoid this by buying only enough fuel to last approximately 30 days or add fuel stabilizer immediately.
Adding a fuel stabilizer to the fuel system is recommended any time the snowblower will not be operated for more than 60 days. Varnish deposits may build up in the carburetor in as little as a few weeks by using stale, oxygenated fuel.
No stabilizer will work with 'stale' fuel, any fuel that is more than 30 days old. (See Preparing Your Snowblower For Storage in the STORAGE section for information on adding stabilizer to the fuel.)
Filling Fuel Tank
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Dirt and water in fuel are major causes of engine performance problems. Prevent dirt and debris from entering the fuel tank when filling. Fill the tank at the end of each day's operation to help keep condensation out of the fuel tank. |
M96147
1. STOP engine. If engine is hot let it cool several minutes before you add fuel.
2. Remove any dirt and debris from tank area.
3. Remove fuel tank cap.
