PRE-OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADD OIL
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in
the engine. For type /grade oil to use, see
the Maintenance section of this manual.
CAUTION:
DO NOT overfi ll engine with
oil, or it will smoke on startup.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level.
2. Remove oil fi ll cap from oil fi ll spout.
3. Engine holds 15.5 oz. of oil. Pour oil
slowly. Do not overfi ll. Wait one minute
to allow oil to settle. Use gauge on oil
fi ll cap/dipstick for checking level. Insert
dipstick into the tube and rest the oil fi ll
cap on the tube. DO NOT thread the
cap into the tube when taking reading.
4. Insert and tighten oil fi ll cap/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 fi ller neck.
Do not overfi ll. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Pur-
chase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used
within 30 days to assure freshness.
CAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open fl ame.
CAUTION
: Alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-
nol) 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.

II. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1997 and later model engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year engines. The ECS War-
ranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to
its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. war-
rants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or equipment and to each
subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is...
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by
the EPA and CARB pursuant to their respective authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS War-
ranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material
respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certifi cation.
The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any
such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by HUSQVAR-
NA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired
or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty
Period.
(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as speci-
fi ed in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in
such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the
ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be
warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required main-
tenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the fi rst sched-
uled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the fi rst scheduled replacement, the
part shall be repaired or replaced by HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. according
to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS
Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the fi rst
scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty
shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC.
Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. Authorized
Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic costs if the
repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. shall be liable for damages to other original
engine components or approved modifi cations proximately caused by a failure under warranty
of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. shall
maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts suffi cient to meet the expected demand
for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. authorized and approved emission-re-
lated replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or
repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce
HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC.’s ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modifi ed, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used
to modify or repair a HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. engine. Such use voids
this ECS Warranty and shall be suffi cient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.
HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of
any warranted parts of a HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. engine caused by the
use of such an unapproved, add-on, modifi ed, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.
