ASSEMBLY
gas and Oil
The fuel tank is located under the hood. Remove the fuel cap by
turning it counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than 30
days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill tank to the bottom of the filler neck,
allowing some space in the tank for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the
tank.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
NOTE: Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine. However, you
MUST check the oil level before operating. See Checking the Engine
Oil in the Service and Maintenance section of this manual.
Always check the engine oil level before each use as instructed in
the Maintenance section. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may
result in serious damage to your engine.
