Don't make the mistake of assuming you know what type of fuel to add to your lawn mower. If you use the wrong type, you could do damage to your mower's engine, and in some cases, you could void your warranty. The mower's owners manual should outline the specific recommendations for your model, but in general, mowers use high-grade unleaded fuel or a fuel-oil mix.

It Depends on the Engine

Most four-stroke engines require fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. You can use gas with ethanol, but more than 10 percent ethanol is typically not recommended. Mowers with two-stroke engines use that same type of gas, but with the addition of a high-quality two-cycle engine oil. The proportions vary by brand, but in Briggs & Stratton two-stroke mowers, for example, the proportions are 50 parts gas to 1 part oil. Another important thing to note: If you're going to be storing your mower for more than 30 days, add a fuel stabilizer to a full tank of gas. This will keep the gas from breaking down and damaging the mower's engine and carburetor.

Cevo 3 Training

In a move to make driving instruction available to more emergency vehicle operators, the National Safety Council is now offering online training programs. The programs are specifically designed for emergency vehicle operators to refresh and improve their driving skills in both emergency and nonemergency situations.According to James Solomon, NSC's product development and training manager for the courses, everything is included that the operator of an emergency vehicle would need to know, including: proper vehicle inspection; driving with lights and siren; proper loading of the vehicle; working with patients and family members; and much more.' You even learn about driving and handling capabilities of various types of ambulances,' says Solomon. 'Participants can log out at any time, bookmark their spot and log back in later to complete the program. Once you get to the testing area at the end, though, you can't back up. You have to go through the test and pass it to get a certificate.' Successful completion of the CEVO II: Ambulance Online course earns ambulance operators a minimum of six Operational CEUs, accredited by the NSC.NSC does extensive research on what vehicle operators think is important to include in an online class, says course designer Bill Waslick.'

One reason we thought the online course would work is because not all states have NSC chapters, and some squads may be 50 miles from a training agency,' he says. 'This way, they can take the class at their own leisure, at home or at work. Driving instruction is such a need in EMT classes. So much attention is given to patient care, and rightly so; however, if you don't get to the scene of the injury or illness, you won't help anyway.'
