Traction Lock Pins; Check The Oil (Before Starting Engine) - Murray 1695722 Operator's Manual

OPERATION

TRACTION LOCK PINS

The right traction wheel can be completely released using the locking pin
(A A , Figure 6). This allows the unit to be easily moved with the engine off.

CHECK THE OIL (BEFORE STARTING ENGINE)

NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil.
Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
1. Make sure the unit is level. Use a high quality detergent oil classified
"For Service SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher".
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick (A A , Figure 7) and wipe with a clean cloth.
3. Insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and turn clockwise to tighten.
4. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and check the oil.
NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the engine runs.
5. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the oil fill
cap/dipstick. Do not add too much oil.
6. Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil
level.
NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of 0°F (-18°C) and
below, use a synthetic 5W30 motor oil for easier starting.
NOTE: S.A.E. 5W30 motor oil may be used to make starting
easier in areas where the temperature is 20°F (-7°C) to 0°F
(-18°C). Synthetic 5W30 is acceptable for all temperatures.
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. See Chart for oil
recommendations.
