Operation
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Stop the engine, disengage the flail blades, and wait for
all moving parts to stop.
2. Clean around the dipstick to prevent dirt from falling
into the filler hole, which causes damage to the engine
(
Figure 10 ).
Note:
Ensure that the engine is level.

11 ).
Note:
If the engine-oil level is low, slowly pour only
enough oil into the filler tube to raise the level to the
middle of the dipstick

Adding Fuel
Recommended Fuel:
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol : Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains
more than 10% ethanol by volume , such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or
E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine
damage which may not be covered under warranty.
