Check and Add Engine Oil
1. Place the tractor on a level surface (see Figure 4).
2. Stop the engine and remove starter insert.
3. Clean the oil fill area of any debris and remove.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean cloth (see
Figure 5).
5. Fully insert the dipstick.
6. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be
at the FULL mark on the dipstick.
7. If FULL, insert the dipstick and tighten securely.
If LOW, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill tube (see Oil
Recommendations). do not overfill. After adding oil,
wait one minute, then check the oil level.
Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped)
will either stop the engine or activate a warning device on
the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the
oil level with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches
the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper
pressure before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not
start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the
oil pressure problem corrected.

Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E85.
Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on
alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components
and void the engine warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. See the Storage section. All fuel is

change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is
