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.
Remove
oil fill cap/dipstick
and wipe
clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw cap
tight, wait for afew 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 starting
(See the oil
viscosity
chart in the Maintenance
section
of this manual),
. To change engine oil, see the Maintenance
section
in this manual.
ADD GASOLINE
, Fill fueltank
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 ensure
fuel freshness.
ACAUTION:
Wipe offany
spilled oil or fuel.
Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an
open flame.
IMPORTANT:
When operating
in tempera-
tures betow32 ° F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter
grade
gasoline
to help insure
good
cold
weather
starting.
CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohot
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 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,
