too low or too high and you run the engine,
you may damage the engine.
7. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the cap
clockwise until it is tight.
Filling the Fuel Tank with
Gasoline
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 machine
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.
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume is acceptable.
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more
than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15%
ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains
up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may
cause performance problems and/or engine damage,
which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless fuel stabilizer has been
added to the fuel.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add a fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.

2. Remove the cap from the tank.
3. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline to within 6 to
13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) from the top of the tank. Do
not fill into the filler neck.
Important: Do not fill the tank more than 6 mm
(1/4 inch) from the top of the tank because the
gasoline must have room to expand.
4. Install the fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

DANGER
Adjusting the cutting-height levers could bring your
hands into contact with a moving blade and result
in serious injury.
• Stop the engine and wait for all movement to
stop before adjusting the cutting height.
• Do not put your fingers under the housing when
adjusting the cutting height.
The cutting heights range from 38 mm (1-1/2 inches) to 127
mm (5 inches) in 13 mm (1/2-inch) increments.
