Gasoline Fill-up
__,
ARNING: 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. In countries
using the
Research method,
it should be 90 octane minimum.
•
Unleaded gasoline is recommended
because it leaves
less combustion
chamber deposits and reduces
harmful exhaust emissions. Leaded gasoline is not
recommended
and must not be used where exhaust
emissions are regulated.
•
Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded
gasoline by volume)
is an approved
fuel. Other
gasoline/alcohol
blends 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.
The gasoline tank is under the rear fender, with the fuel fill
cap located in the center of the rear fender. The fuel cap is
tethered
to the tractor to prevent its loss. Do not attempt
to remove the cap from the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Your tractor h shipped with motor oil in
the engine. However,you MUSTcheck the oil level before
operating. Refer to the engine Owner's Manual provided with
your tractor for instructions on checking the oil level
