ADD OIL
Your lawnmower
is shipped
without oil in
the engine. Engine holds 20 oz. of oil.
For type and grade of oil to use, see
"ENGINE"
in Maintenance
section of this
manual.
1. Be sure lawnmower
is level and area
around oil fill is clean.
2. Remove
engine oil cap
and fill to the
full line on the dipstick. Pour oil slowly.
Do not over fill.
NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into engine

tighten engine oil cap, then remove it to
read the dipstick.

• Check oil level before each use.
Add
oil if needed.

• 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.
Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded
gasoline with a minimum of
87 octane.
Do not mix oil with gaso-
line. Purchase
fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.
AWARNING:
Experience indicates that
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 Instructionsfor
additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
A CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank
filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel, Do not store, spill or
use gasoline near an open flame.
