Operation

Filling the Fuel Tank

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 12).
Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.
Figure 12

Checking the Engine Oil Level

1. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and fully install the
dipstick (Figure 13).
Figure 13
2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 13).
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. Do not overfill. (Max.
fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30W detergent oil with
an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or
higher.)
3. Install the dipstick.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

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.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be
hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the
hot muffler.
Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels to
the same height.
Note: To raise the mower, move all 4 cutting height levers
forward; to lower the mower, move them all rearward
(Figure 14).
