THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine in your tractor
has been shipped,
from the factory,
already
filled with summer
weight
oil.

oil with
tractor
on level
ground.
2.
Remove
oil fill
cap/dipstick
and
wipe
clean, reinsert the dipstick
and screw cap
tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove
and
read oil level.
If necessary,
add oil until
"FULl"
mark on dipstick
is reached.
Do
not overfill.
•
For cold weather
operation
you should
change
oil for easier

(See the
oil viscosity
chart
in the
Maintenance
section
of this manual).
•
To change

•
Fill fuel tank to bottom
of filler neck.
Do
not overfill.
Use fresh,
clean,
regular
unleaded
gasoline
with
a minimum
of
87 octane.
(Use of leaded
gasoline
will
increase
carbon
and lead oxide deposits
and reduce
valve life). Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
Purchase
fuel in quantities
that
can be used within 30 days to assure fuel
freshness.
_I, CAUTION:
Wipe
off any spilled
oil or
fuel.

winter
grade
gasoline
to help
insure
good
cold weather
starting.
CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can
attract
moisture
which
leads
to separation
and formation
ofacids
during storage.
Acidic
gas can damagethe
fuel system
of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine
problems,
the fuel
system
should
be emptied
before
storage
of 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas
