Gas and Oil
Fuel Recommendations
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combustion chamber
deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture
or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85
gasoline.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or
allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where
gasoline is stored.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed
properly and securely.
•
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
•
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
Adding Fuel
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the riding mower
indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars,
pipes and other sources of ignition.
1.
Be sure engine is outdoors and in a well-ventilated area.
2.
Clean area around the fuel fill cap and remove the fuel fill cap.
3.
Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel slowly, being careful to
avoid spilling.

ASSEMBLY
4.
Fill the tank until the fuel reaches the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
5.
Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely. Wipe up spilled fuel before
starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT start engine. Move riding mower
away from area of spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapors are gone.
Checking and Adding Oil
Your riding mower is shipped with oil in the engine. However, you MUST check the
oil level before operating.
Always check the engine oil level before each use as instructed in the
Service and Maintenance section. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may
result in serious damage to your engine.
1.
Place the riding mower on a flat, level surface.
2.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean. See Figure 10.
3.
Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
4.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil until oil
level registers between FULL and ADD, Figure 10.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard starting,
or spark plug fouling.
5.
Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the ADD mark on the dipstick.
Doing so may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
NOTE: To change the oil in your engine, see the Service and Maintenance
section of this manual.
