Operation

Filling the Fuel Tank

DANGER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or mower
directly on the ground before filling, not in a
vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around
an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out
of the reach of children.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station (Figure 9).
Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive
use (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline
may be used if unleaded regular is not available.
Note: Never use methanol, gasoline containing
methanol, or gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol
because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix
oil with gasoline.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add
fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and fully install
the dipstick (Figure 10).
2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level
(Figure 10). If the oil level is below the Add mark on
the dipstick, slowly pour oil into the oil fill tube to
raise the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick.
Wait 3 minutes after adding oil to check the oil level
with the dipstick. Do not overfill. (Max. fill: 0.58
quart or 18.6 oz. (0.55 l), type: SAE 30 detergent oil
with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ,
SL, or higher.)
3. Install the dipstick.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

WARNING
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.
• Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
• Do not put your fingers under the housing when
adjusting the cutting height.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be
hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the
hot muffler.
