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

of this manual).
• To change
engine oil, seethe
Maintenance
section
in this manual.
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom

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
Instruc-
tions for additional
information.
Never
use
engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the
fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in
minimizing
the formation
offuel gum deposits
during
storage.
Add stabilizer
to gasoline
in
fuel tank or storage
container.
Always
follow
the mix ratio
found
on stabilizer
container.
Run engine
at least 10 minutes
after adding
stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer

carburetor.
Do not empty
the gas tank and
carburetor
if using
fuel stabilizer.
