Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certi
fi
ed oils for best performance. Other high-quality de-
tergent oils are acceptable if classi
fi
ed for service SF, SG,
SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for
the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Safety Interlock System Tests
This unit is equipped with safety interlock switches and
other safety devices. These safety systems are present for
your safety: do not attempt to bypass safety switches, and
never tamper with safety devices.
Operation
WARNING
If the unit does not pass a safety test, do not oper-
ate it. See an authorized dealer.
WARNING
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystand-
ers. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to the presence of children. Never activate the RMO if
children are present. Children are often attracted to the unit
and the mowing activity.
Check the Tire Pressure
Tires should be checked periodically to provide the
optimum traction and to guarantee the best cut (see
Figure 7).
NOTE:
These pressures may di
ff
er slightly from the
“Maximum In
fl
ation” stamped on the side walls of the tires.
