Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combustion chamber
deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture
or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85
gasoline.
WARNING
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the
engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
NOTE : Purchase gasoline in small quantities. Do not use gasoline left over from the
previous season, to minimize gum deposits in the fuel system.
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. For best results, fill
the fuel tank with only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker
octane rating of 87 or higher.
•
Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume) is an
approved fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends, such as E85, are not approved.
•
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline blends (up to a
maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are approved fuels. Other gasoline/ether
blends are not approved.
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
•
Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1/2 inch below bottom of
filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow
engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
•
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to
another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
To Add Gasoline
NOTE: The tractor is fitted with a tethered, ratcheting fuel cap. STOP filling the tank
once the fuel is seen inside the filler neck. This ensures that a proper expansion
volume is created, otherwise the fuel can overflow creating a hazardous situation.
Do NOT top off the fuel tank.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or
allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where
gasoline is stored.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed
properly and securely.
•
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
•
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
ASSEMBLY
Adding Fuel
An adult should fuel this engine. NEVER allow children to refuel its engine.
Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and can explode. Fuel vapors
can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from engine.
To prevent injury or death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:
•
DO NOT use leaded fuel.
•
Fuel must be fresh and clean. NEVER use fuel left over from last season or
stored for long periods.
•
NEVER mix oil with fuel.
•
DO NOT use fuel containing Methanol (Wood Alcohol)
NOTE: Before refueling, allow engine to cool two minutes.
1.
Turn the engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing
the fuel cap. The gasoline tank is located under the seat. The fuel cap is
tethered to the tractor to prevent its loss. Do not attempt to remove the cap
from the tractor.
2.
Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel.
3.
Fill tank until fuel reaches 1⁄2 inch below the bottom of the filler neck to
allow space for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill. See Figure 16.
4.
Replace the gasoline cap and tighten securely. Wipe up spilled fuel before
starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT start engine. Move machine away
from area of spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
are gone.
Tire Pressure
Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Never exceed the
maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
The recommended operating tire pressure is:
•
•
IMPORTANT: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer's recommended
or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting
deck to mow unevenly.
