Your lawnmower
is shipped without oil in
the engine. For type and grade of oil to
use, see "ENGINE"
in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
A CAUTION:
DO NOT overfill engine with
oil, or it will smoke on startup.
1. Be sure lawnmower
is level and area
around
oil fill is clean.
2.
Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
Make sure that rim of spout is clean.
3. You receive a container of oil with the
unit. Slowly pour 3/4 (12 oz.) of the oil
from the container down the oil fill
spout into the engine.
4. Wait one minute to allow oil to settle.
Use guage on oil fill cap/dipstick
for
checking level.
Insert dipstick into the
tube and rest the oil fill cap on the
tube.
Do not thread the cap into the
tube when taking reading.
5. Continue adding small amounts
of oil
and rechecking the dipstick until it
reads full.
DO NOT overfill, or engine
will smoke
on startup.
6. Always
be sure to ratighten oil dipstick
before starting
engine.
• Check
oil level before each use.
Add
oil if needed.
Fill to full line on dipstick.
• Change
the oil after every 25 hours of
operation
or each season.
You may
need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions.
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler
neck.
Do not overfill.
Use fresh, clean,
regular unleaded
gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane.
Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Purchase
fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
A CAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled
oil or
fuel.
Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
A 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 clays 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.
