re-
move 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

Do
not overfill.
Use fresh,
clean,
regular
unleaded
gasoline
with a minimum
of
87 octane.
(Use of
leaded
gasoline
will
increase
carbon
and lead oxide
deposits
and reduce
valve
life).
Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Purchase
fuel in quan-
tities that can be used within
30 days to
assure
fuel freshness.
Ai:_CAUTION:
Wipe
off any spilled
oil or
fuel.
Do not store,
spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
iMPORTANT:
When
operating
in temper-
atures
below32°F(0°C),
use fresh,
clean
winter
grade
gasoline
to help insure
good
cold weather
starting.
CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can
attract
moisture
which
leads to separa-
tion 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.

Sit on seat in operating
position,
depress
clutch/brake
pedal
and set
parking

Place
motion
control
lever
in neutral
position.
4.
Move attachment

starting,
read the warm
and cold starting
procedures
below.
6.
Insert
key into ignition
and turn key
clockwise
to start position
and release
key as soon
as engine
starts.
Do not
run starter

per minute.
If the
engine
does not start after several
attempts,
move throttle
control

position,
wait a few minutes
and try
again.
If engine

When
engine
starts,
move the throttle
control
to the fast position.
• The attachments
and ground
drive can
now be used.
If the engine
does not
accept
the load, restart
the engine
and
allow
it to warm
up for one minute
using
the choke
as described
above.
COLD WEATHER
STARTING
( 50 ° F and
below)
7. When engine starts, leave throttle
control in choke position until engine
warms up and begins to run roughly.
Once rough running begins, immedi-
ately move the throttle control to the
fast position. Engine warm-up may
take from several seconds to several
minutes (the colder the temperature,
the longer the warm-up).
AUTOMATIC

up period.
• The attachments
can also be used dur-
ing the engine
warm-up
period
after the
transmission
has been warmed
up.
NOTE:
If at a high altitude
(above
3000
feet) or in cold temperatures
(below
