ENGINE
ADD OIL
Your lawnmower
is shipped
without
oil in
the engine.
For type and grade of oil to
use, see "ENGINE"
in the Maintenance
section
of this manual.
CAUTION:
DO NOT overfill
engine
with
oil, or it will smoke
heavily from the muffler
on startup.
1.
Be sure lawnmower
is level.
2.
Remove
oil dipstick
from oil fill spout.
3.
You receive
a container
of oil with the
unit.
Slowly
pour the entire
container
down the oil fill spout into the engine.
NOTE:
Initial oil fill requires
only 18 oz.
due to residual
oil in engine
from the
manufacturers
100% quality
testing. When
changing
oil you may need 20 oz.
4.
Insert and tighten
dipstick.
IMPORTANT:
• Check
oil level before each use.
Add oil
if needed.
Fill to full line on dipstick.
• Change
the oil after every 25 hours of
operation
or each season.
You may
need to change
the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions.
See "TO
CHANGE
ENGINE
OIL:' in the Mainte-
nance
section
of this manual.
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 fresh-
ness.
A¢_ CAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
,_ar an open flame.
CAUTION:
Alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-
nol) 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. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and tet it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season.
See Storage Instructions for
additional information.
Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
