NOTE: Be sure to check the oil while on a level surface with the
engine stopped.
1.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean.
2.
Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck. Turn the dipstick 1/4 turn
into the locked position to fully seat. See Fig. 13.
3.
Remove dipstick to check the oil level.
4.
If the level is low, slowly add oil until the reading is at the upper
level on the dipstick. See Fig. 13 inset.
5.
Reinsert the dipstick and turn to locked position before starting
the engine.

ASSEMBLY
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combus-
tion 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.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions.
•
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
40º
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
An adult should fuel this engine. NEVER allow children to refuel
its engine. Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and can
explode. Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame
many feet away from engine. To prevent injury or death from fuel
fires, follow these instructions:
•
DO NOT use leaded fuel.
•
Fuel must be fresh and clean. NEVER use fuel left over from last
season or stored for long periods.
•
NEVER mix oil with fuel.
•
DO NOT use fuel containing Methanol (Wood Alcohol)
NOTE: Before refueling, allow engine to cool two minutes.
1.
Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel.
2.
Fill tank until fuel reaches 1⁄2 inch below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow space for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill.
3.
Replace the gasoline cap and tighten securely. Wipe up spilled
fuel before starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT start engine.
Move machine away from area of spillage. Avoid creating any
source of ignition until fuel vapors are gone.
TIRE PRESSURE
Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Never exceed
the maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
The recommended operating tire pressure is:
Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires
Approximately 14 psi for the front tires
IMPORTANT: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer's
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire pres-
sure could cause the cutting deck to mow unevenly.
