Operation
See inside back cover to determine the approximate
slope angle to be mowed.

Recommended Gasoline

Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for
automotive use (87 pump octane minimum).
Important: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, or gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system
could be damaged. Do Not mix oil with gasoline.
DANGER
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and vapors are explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors in an open
area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up
any gasoline that spills.
• Never refill the fuel tank or drain the
machine indoors or inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do Not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the
body of the tank is full but fuel does not
fill the neck of the tank. This empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline,
and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by
spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
• Do Not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and cause property damage.
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the
loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on
the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be
used, keep the nozzle in contact with the
rim of the fuel tank or container opening
at all times until fueling is complete.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use
caution may cause serious injury or illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas
tank/container opening.
• Keep away from eyes and skin.
• Never siphon by mouth.
