Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Position the unit on a level surface, lower the loader arms, and turn off the engine by turning the
ignition key to OFF. Remove the key.
2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap. Use a funnel to add fuel (as specified above)
to the fuel tank, filling until the fuel reaches 2-3 inches (60-70mm) below the top of the tank. This
space is needed to allow the fuel to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
3. Replace the fuel cap securely. Clean up any spilled fuel.
Checking the Oil Level
1. Refer to the engine operating manual for oil specifications.
2. Remove any debris from the machine and clean around the dipstick and oil fill location.
3. With the engine cold and the machine parked on a level surface, remove the dipstick and check.
