Before Starting the Machine
Page| 13
Prevent Engine Damage
To prevent damage to the engine, the machine is shipped without any fluids.
The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and fuel before
starting the engine.
Oil Level Check
When checking the oil, keep the mower on a level surface. Remove the oil
cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick without
screwing the cap back on, and remove it to check the oil level.
Correct oil level is when the brim of the liquid is at the
UPPER LIMIT
mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill the engine with oil.
Fueling the tank
Fill to the base of the neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the
fuel tank.
Ensure that the Operator Presence Control (OPC) Bail Arm moves freely and
returns to its resting position when released.
