is shipped without oil in
the engine. For type and grade of oil to
use, see "ENGINE"

oil, or it will smoke on startup.
1. Be sure lawnmower
is level and area
around oil fill is clean.
2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
Make sure that rim of spout is clean.
3. You receive a container of oil with the
unit. Slowly pour 3/4 (15 oz.) of the oil
from the container down the oil fill
spout into the engine.
4. Wait one minute to allow oil to settle.
Insert and tighten dipstick, then
remove it to check oil level.
5. Continue adding small amounts
of oil
and rechecking
the dipstick
until it
reads full. DO NOT overfill, or engine
will smoke on startup.
6. Always be sure to retighten oil dipstick
before starting engine.
• Check oil level before each use. Add
oil if needed.
Fill to full line on dipstick.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season.
You may
need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions.
•ADD GASOLINE
NOTE: Before filling fuel tank, remove
and discard the debris plug that is inside
the tank.
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler
neck.

regular unleaded

minimum of 87 octane.
Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Purchase

quantities
that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
• 1_ CAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
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
