To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil
or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade
of oil and petrol before starting.
Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 10W-30.
Never use additives with recommended oil.
To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is
changed after the first 5 hours of use - refer to ‘Maintenance
Schedule’.
Clean around the oil filter cap before removing. With the
mower on a level surface. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe
the dipstick with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick into the oil
filler neck, but do not screw it in, then remove to check the oil
level.
The oil level is correct when it is at the
full
mark on the
dipstick.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil
with petrol.
Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not
overfill the fuel tank.
