Before Operating

CHECK ENGINE OIL BEFORE
EACH USE OR EVERY 5 OPER-
ATING HOURS
Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual for oil
requirements.
1. Position the mower on a level surface.
2. Clean around the oil gauge (Fig. 1) then remove
it by turning it counterclockwise.

1. Oil level gauge
3. Wipe it clean and re-insert it, but do not screw
it into the port. Then remove it and check the
oil check level. Add only enough oil to raise
the level to the filler opening.
FILL THE FUEL TANK
1. Clean around fuel tank cap and remove cap
from tank (Fig. 2). Fill the fuel tank no higher
than to the bottom of the filter screen. DO NOT
OVER FILL.

3. Install fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
Because fuel is flammable, caution must be used
when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel
tank while the engine is running, hot or when the
machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may
build up and be ignited by a spark or flame
source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE
while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibil-
ity of an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank
outside and wipe up any spilled fuel before start-
ing the engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent
spilling, and fill the tank no higher than 2.5 cm
(one inch) below top of the tank, (bottom of the
filler neck). DO NOT OVER FILL.
Store fuel in a clean safety approved container
and keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in
a cool, well-ventilated place; never in an
enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To
assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30-day
supply of gasoline, or a 6-month supply of diesel
fuel.
Since many children like the smell of gasoline,
keep it out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.
CHECK TRANSAXLE OIL LEVEL
Check the transaxle oil level before initial startup
and after every 50 hours of operation.
1. Place mower on level surface and remove the
plug at the rear of the gear case. Oil should be
to the bottom of the hole (Fig. 3).
2. If the level is too low, remove the plug in the
top cover (Fig. 4) and add SAE 90 gear oil.
3. To drain the transaxle, remove both plugs and
tip the unit rearward
