section
of
this

BEFORE
STARTING
THE ENGINE
CHECK
ENGINE
OIL
LEVEL
The engine in your tractor
has been
shipped, from the factory, already filled
with summer weight oil.
1. Check engine oil with tractor on level
ground.
2. Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dip-
stick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick
into the tube and rest oil fill cap on the
tube.
Do not thread the cap onto the
tube. Remove and read oil level.
If
necessary, add oil until "FULE' mark
on dipstick is reached.
Do not overfill.
• For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See the
oil viscosity chart in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-
nance section in this manual.
ADD
GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom
of filler neck. Do not
overfill.
Usefresh,
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.
ACAUTION:
Wipe
off any spilled
oil or
fuel.
Do not store,
spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
IMPORTANT:
When
operating
in temper-
atures
below32°F(0°C),
use fresh,
clean
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
of acids during
storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the 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 tank,
start the
engine
and let it run until the fuel lines
17
and carburetor
are empty.
Use fresh fuel
next season.
See Storage
Instructions
for
additional
information.
Never
use engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel
tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
