the following items have been supplied correctly. If any
items are missing contact, your local Hayter dealer.

Prevent Engine Damage
To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped
without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with
the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the
engine. (Refer fig.4)
Oil Type
Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 30
oil. Never use additives with recommended oil.
To prolong the life of your engine it is important that
the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use - Refer to
'Maintenance Schedule'.
Check Oil Level
Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With
the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the
oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth.
Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place, then unscrew
and remove it to check the oil level. (Refer fig.5)
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on
the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. (Refer fig.5)
Fuel Type
Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel
