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 a few 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).

ADD
GASOLINE
• Fillfueltankto
bottom
offiller
neck. Do not
overfill.
Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded
gasoline
with
a minimum
of 87 octane.
(Use of leaded
gasoline
will increase
car-
bon and lead oxide
deposits
and reduce
valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Pur-
chase fuel in quantities
that can be used
within
30 days to ensure
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 tempera-
tures
below
32°F
(0°C),
use fresh,
clean
winter
grade
gasoline
to help ensure
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 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.
