Connecting the Battery Wire 

We ship all Electric-Starting Mowers with the negative terminal Battery wire 
disconnected.  This prevents the Battery from discharging during shipment.  
Before using your Mower, you must connect the Battery wire. 

1.

 

Connect the negative (black) wire to the negative terminal on the Battery by 
sliding the Connector onto the Terminal 

(Figure 9

). 

Adding Oil and Gasoline 

Note:

  Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information 

regarding Oil weight based on ambient temperature 

1.

 

Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 1/2 of oil 
recommended by the Engine manufacturer into the Oil Fill (

Figure 10, 

Electric Start Machines

) or (

Figure 11, Manual Start Machines

). 

2.

 

Wait one minute for the oil to settle and check the Dipstick.  Continue 
adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until the oil 
reaches the full mark.  Be careful not to overfill. 

3.

 

Fill the Fuel Tank to not more than 1/4" from the bottom of the Fill Neck 
with fresh, unleaded gas.  See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more 
information. 

Check the Tire Pressure 

Tools Needed: 

 

Tire Pressure Gauge 

 

Air Compressor 

1.

 

Remove the Valve Stem Protective Cap (

Figure 12

) and check the tire pressure with a Tire Pressure Gauge. 

2.

 

Compare the tire pressure reading from step 1 with the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure stamped on the side of the 
tire. 

3.

 

If the pressure is too low, add air through the Valve Stem with an air hose. 

4.

 

Replace the Valve Stem Protective Cap when finished.

You must add Oil before starting the engine.  This machine is shipped 
without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from factory testing, but 
you must add oil before starting the engine.  Fill the reservoir slowly, 
checking the level frequently to avoid overfilling. 

 

To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level: 

- The machine should be on a level surface. 
- The dipstick SHOULD be screwed down on Briggs & Stratton 

Engines to ensure an accurate oil level reading. 

Before filling the Fuel Tank; turn the Engine OFF, and let it cool at least five 
minutes before removing the Gas Fill Cap 

Do not over inflate the tires. Inflate to the manufacturers recommended 
pressure found on the tires.
