Engine Oil Level
Check the engine oil level with the
engine stopped and the mower on a
level surface.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API
service category SJ or later. Always
check the API SERVICE label on the
oil container to be sure it includes the
letters SJ or later.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in
your area is within the indicated range.
NOTICE
• Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
• Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine's service life, and
using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
1. Remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick [1], and wipe
the dipstick clean.
2. Insert the dipstick into the
filler neck. Do not screw it
down. Remove the
dipstick and check the oil
level.
3. If the oil level is near the
low level mark [3], add
the recommended oil to
bring the level up to the
high limit mark [2]. Do not
overfill.
4. Install and tighten the
filler cap/dipstick [1]
securely.
Fuel
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher.
We recommend refueling after each use to minimize the air present in
the fuel tank.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine
has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine inside
a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks.
You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10%
ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol must
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content
of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above may cause starting
and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and
plastic parts of the fuel system. In addition, ethanol is hygroscopic,
which means it attracts and retains water in the fuel system. Engine
damage or performance problems that result from using a fuel with
percentages of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above are not
covered by warranty.

ENGLISH
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
(more than 4 weeks before next use) please refer to the Fuel section
of the STORAGE chapter (page 14) for additional information
regarding fuel deterioration.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered
under warranty.
Remove the fuel tank cap [1] and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if
the fuel level is low. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not
overfill; there should be no fuel in the filler neck [2].
After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
Move the mower at least 3 meters away from the fueling source and
site before starting the engine.
Fuel Storage Container
Store your gasoline in a clean, plastic, sealed container approved for
fuel storage. Close the vent (if equipped) when not in use, and store
the container away from direct sunlight. If it will take more than 3
months to use the fuel in the container, we suggest adding a fuel
stabilizer to the fuel when you fill the container.
If you have some fuel left in your storage container at the end of the
season, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends
adding the gasoline to your vehicle's gas tank
(http://epa.gov/reg5oair/mobile/winter.html).
