Preparing the Engine

ENGINE DOES NOT CONTAIN OIL OR GASOLINE
Fill the engine with the proper amount of oil. See the engine
manufacturer's instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to
use. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety,
operation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer's
instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to
use. Always use a safety gasoline container.
Do not smoke when adding gasoline to the
engine. When inside an enclosure, do not
fill with gasoline. Before you add gasoline,
stop the engine. Let the engine cool for
several minutes.
Note: The operation of a new engine will sometimes result in
a slight amount of smoke. This smoke is caused by paint or
oil on or around the muffler. This is normal and only
expected during initial operation.

Pre-Start Checklist

Before you use the mower, check the assembly of the
wheels, the handle, and the controls. Make sure all the
fasteners are tight. Make sure the throttle control (if
equipped) and the engine stop lever work correctly.
If the mower is equipped with height adjusters, make sure
the height adjusters function properly. Before starting the
engine, make sure each height adjuster is set at the desired
height. See "Adjusting The Height Of Cut" in the Maintenance
sections.

IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal
combustion engine and must not be used on or near any
unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered
and unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a
spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any).
If a spark arrester is used, it must be maintained in effective
working order by the operator.
In the State of California the above is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands. See an Authorized Service Center for a spark
arrester for the muffler.
Note: Actual sustained engine power will likely be lower due
to operating limitations and environmental factors.
