BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been shipped from the fac-

tory already filled with sum mer weight oil.
• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.
•

Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,

remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until

“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting. (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the

Maintenance sec tion of this manual.)

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.

Use fresh, clean, regular gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel

in quantities that can be used within 30 days to ensure

fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

IMPORTANT:

WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW 32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol

or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture

which leads to sep a ra tion 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. Drain 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. Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative

in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits

during stor age. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel

tank or storage container. Always follow the mix

ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at

least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the

stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty

the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
