BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

ADD OIL

Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in 

the engine. For type and grade of oil to 

use, see “EN GINE” in the Maintenance 

section of this manual.

  CAUTION:

 DO NOT overfill engine with 

oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muffler 

on startup.

1.  Be sure lawnmower is level.  

2.  Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.

3.  You receive a container of oil with the 

unit.  Slowly pour the entire container 

down the oil fill spout into the engine.

NOTE: 

Initial oil fill requires only 14 oz. 

due to residual oil in engine from the 

manufacturers 100% quality testing.

When changing oil you may need 16 oz.

4.  Insert and tighten dipstick.

IMPORTANT:

•  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.  See “TO 

CHANGE ENGINE OIL” in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

•  Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler 

neck.  Do not overfill.  Use fresh, clean, 

regular unleaded gasoline with a mini-

mum of 87 octane.  Do not mix oil with 

gasoline.  Purchase fuel in quan ti ties 

that can be used within 30 days to as-

sure fuel freshness.

  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 meth-

anol) can attract moisture which leads to 

separation and for ma tion 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 stor age of 30 

days or longer.  Empty 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 In struc tions for 

additional information.  Never use engine 

or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel 

tank or permanent damage may occur.

TO STOP ENGINE

•  To stop engine, release operator pres-

ence con trol bar.

TO START ENGINE 

NOTE:

 Due to protective coatings on the 

engine, a small amount of smoke may be 

present during the initial use of the prod-

uct and should be considered normal.

1.  To start a cold engine, push primer 

three (3) times before trying to start. 

Use a firm push. This step is not 

usually necessary when starting an 

engine which has already run for a few 

minutes.

2.  Hold operator presence control bar 

down to the han dle and pull starter 

handle quickly. Do not allow starter 

rope to snap back.

NOTE

:  In cooler weather it may be 

necessary to repeat priming steps. In 

warmer weather over priming may cause 

flooding and engine will not start. If you 

do flood engine, wait a few minutes 

before attempting to start and do not 

repeat priming steps.
