you to lose control of your tractor.
BEFORE
STARTING
THE
ENGINE
CHECK
ENGINE
OiL LEVEL
The engine in your tractor
has been shipped,
from the factory,
already
filled
with summer
weight
oil.
1. Check
engine
oil with
tractor
on level
ground.
2.
Unthread
and remove
oil fill cap/dipstick;
wipe oil off. Reinsert
the dipstick
into the
tube and rest oil fill cap on the tube.
Do
not thread the cap onto the tube. Remove
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
oil for easier
starting
(See the oil
viscosity
chart in the Maintenance
section
of this manual).
To change
engine oil, see the Maintenance
section
in this manual.
ADD
GASOLINE
Fill fuel tank to bottom
of filler neck. 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.
Purchasefuel
in quantitiesthat
can be used
within
30 days to assure
fuel freshness.
_I, CAUTION:
Wipe
off any spilled
oil or fuel.
Do not store,
spill
or use gasoline
near an
open flame.
IMPORTANT:
When
operating
in tempera-
tures
below
32°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 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
information.
Never use engine
or
carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank
