CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
• The engine in your mower has been shipped
from the factory, already filled with 10W-30
motor oil.
• Check engine oil with the mower on level
ground.
• Refer to you Engine Owners Manual for
correct oil level.
• To change engine oil, see the Customer
Responsibilities section of this manual.
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase
carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce
valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used
within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN OPERATING IN
TEMPERATURES BELOW 32° F. (0° C.), USE
FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE
TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER
STARTING.
CAUTION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the
gas tank, start the engine and let it the run
until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel the next season.
See Storage Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or carbure-
tor cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
OPERATION
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do not over
fill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do
not store, spill or use gasoline near an
open flame.
