Filling the Fuel Tank
Note:
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Fill the fuel
tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the
tank allows the gasoline to expand.
1.
Park the machine on level ground.
2.
Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
3.
Clean around the fuel tank cap.
4.
Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck.
Ensure there is empty space in the tank to allow the
gasoline to expand (Figure 7).

Checking the Engine Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the oil
level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking the Engine
Oil Level.
Breaking In a New Machine
New engines take time to develop full power. Mower decks
and drive systems have higher friction when new, placing
additional load on the engine. Allow 40 to 50 hours of
break-in time for new machines to develop full power and
best performance.
