Filling The Fuel Tank; Checking The Engine Oil Level - LAWNBOY 10634 Manual Del Operador

Filling the Fuel Tank

DANGER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or machine
directly on the ground before filling, not in a
vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around
an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out
of the reach of children.
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating
method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume is acceptable.
•
Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline (such as E15
or E85) with more than 10% ethanol by volume.
Performance problems and/or engine damage may result
which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers
over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: 10W-30 or SAE 30 detergent
oil with an API service classification of SJ or higher.
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 8).
3. Wipe off the dipstick end with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube.
5. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level; refer to
Figure 8.
•
If the oil level is below the Add mark, add a small
amount of oil slowly to the oil-fill tube, and then
repeat steps 3 through 5 until the oil level on the
dipstick is at the Full mark.
•
If the oil level is above the Full mark, drain the
excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick is at
the Full mark. To drain the excess oil, refer to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 11).
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is
too low or too high and you run the engine,
you may damage the engine.
6. Install the dipstick securely.
