Operation; Before Starting - Husqvarna W21 Operator's Manual

Before Starting Engine
ADD OIL
Your lawn mower is shipped without oil in the
engine. For type and grade of oil to use see
"ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this
manual or the engine manual.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level.
2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
3. Engine holds 0.90 qt.(0.85L) of oil. For
type and grade of oil to use, see
"ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of
this manual or the engine manual that
comes with the unit.
4. Pour oil slowly. DO NOT overfill. Wait one
minute to allow oil to settle. Insert
dipstick without tightening, then remove it
to check oil level.
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.
DO NOT overfill. Use fresh, clean,
regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane. DO NOT mix oil
with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities
that can be used within 30 days to
assure fuel freshness.
WARNING!
Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel.
DO NOT store, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame.
Alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and
formation of acids during
storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer.
Empty the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See Storage
Instructions for additional
information.
