Prevent Engine Damage
To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without
oil or gasoline. The engine must be filled with the correct
grade of oil and gasoline before starting.
Oil Type
Always use high quality detergent oil classified
SAE 10W-30. Never use additives with recommended
oil. To prolong the life of your engine it is important
that the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use -
refer to ‘Maintenance Schedule’.
Check Oil Level
Clean around the oil filter cap before removing.
With the mower on a level surface. Remove the oil filler cap
and wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick
into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in, then remove it
to check the oil level.
The oil level is correct when it is at the FULL mark on the
dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL .
Fuel Type
Always use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used
within 30 days. Never mix oil with gasoline.
Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel
expansion. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
