Tilting
Place the machine on a secure, level surface
whenever you use it or store it. Any surfaces you
place it on other than the ground must be firm,
non-skid, and structurally sound.The gasoline
engine is designed to run in a level position for
best performance. It can operate at an angle, but
this should never be more than 15 degrees in any
direction. If you do operate it at a slight angle, be
sure to check the oil regularly and keep the oil
level full. Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at
an angle.
