Preparation Before Operating

ADD ENGINE OIL

Initially, the crankcase must be filled with 47 cl of
proper viscosity oil (See chart below). Use any high-
quality detergent oil having the American Petroleum
Institute (API) "service classification"–MS, or SC.
Temperature
10°C or below
10°C to 35°C
Above 35°C
1. Position the mower so the engine is level and
clean around the oil level gauge (Fig. 1).
1. Oil level gauge
2. Remove the gauge by turning it counterclock-
wise.
3. Wipe the gauge clean and insert it into the filler
port. Then remove it and check the level of oil.
Do not screw the gauge into the port. If the
level is low, add only enough oil to raise the
level to the filler opening.
Note: We recommend that the oil level be
checked each time the mower is used or after
every 5 operating hours. Initially, change the
oil after the first 20 hours of operation; there-
after, change the oil after every 50 hours of
operation. More frequent oil changes are
required in dusty or dirty conditions.

FILL THE FUEL TANK
NOTE: NEVER USE METHANOL, GASOLINE
CONTAINING METHANOL, GASOLINE CON-
TAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, GASO-
LINE ADDITIVES, PREMIUM GASOLINE OR
WHITE GAS BECAUSE FUEL SYSTEM DAM-
AGE COULD RESULT.
DANGER
Because fuel is flammable, caution must be used
when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel
tank while the engine is running, hot or when the
machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build
up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many
feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel
tank to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any
spilled fuel before starting the engine. Use a funnel
or spout to prevent spilling, and fill the tank no
higher than to the bottom of the filter screen. DO
NOT OVER FILL.
Store fuel in a clean safety approved container and
keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in a cool,
well-ventilated place; never in an enclosed area
such as a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do
not buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline, or a
6-month supply of diesel fuel.
Gasoline is a fuel for internal combustion engines;
therefore, do not use it for any other purpose. Since
many children like the smell of gasoline, keep it out
of their reach because the fumes are explosive and
dangerous to inhale.
1. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap from tank (Fig. 2). Using unleaded gaso-
line, fill the fuel tank no higher than to the bot-
tom of the filter screen. DO NOT OVER FILL.
