Filling Fuel Tank Safely

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.

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 1.9 L (2 qt.).


· Use only clean, fresh, unleaded regular grade gasoline.

· Remove any trash from top of fuel tank drain area.

· Use summer blended fuel for warm weather operation and winter blended fuel for cold weather.

· Never use fuel that is stale or has been stored for a long period of time:

Warm Weather - Maximum 60 days.

Cold Weather - Maximum of 90 days.

· Fill fuel tank at the end of each day's operation. This helps to keep condensation out of fuel tank.

1981 John Deere 826 Snowblower Parts Diagram

Oxygenated Fuel

Oxygenates (either ethanol or MTBE) are added to the gasoline. If you use the oxygenated fuel be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.

The following are the EPA approved percentages of fuel oxygenates:

ETHANOL (Ethyl or Grain Alcohol): You may use gasoline containing up to 10 percent ethanol by volume.

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether): You may use gasoline containing up to 15 percent MTBE by volume.

Filling Fuel Tank

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Allow engine to cool before refueling machine.

1. STOP engine. If engine is hot let it cool several minutes before you add fuel.

M96036

2. Remove fuel tank cap (A).

NOTE: Fuel tank capacity is 1.9 L (2 qt.). Do Not over-fill. Allow space in fuel tank for expansion.

826 John Deere Snowblower Engine

3. Fill fuel tank to 13 mm (1/2 in.) below bottom of filler neck to allow room for gasoline to expand.

4. Install fuel tank cap.

Check Tire Pressure
