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 engine oil plug and fill to the
top slot in filler hole. Pour oil slowly.
NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into
engine
for accurate reading.
3.
Reinstall engine oil plug and tighten.
• Check oil level before each use. Add
oil if needed.
Fill to top slot in filler
hole.
• 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 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.
