ASSEMBLY
Rotate the clamp knobs to the left and remove them, slide the seat forward or
backward and re-insert the clamp knobs into one of the four available positions on
the seat pan and into the seat, then tighten securely. Make sure the seat is locked into
position before operating the tractor. See Figure 10.

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 tank cap and remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel slowly, being careful to
avoid spilling.
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. Check and add the oil as instructed in your Engine
Operator's Manual.
