ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.
Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will
increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce
valve life.) Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel
in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.
IMPORTANT : WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW
32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GAS O LINE
TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START ING.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol
or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture which leads to sep a ra tion 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. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and
let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next sea son. See Storage
In struc tions for additional information. Never
use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top
of fuel tank to prevent spills and to
allow for fuel expansion. If gasoline
is accidentally spilled, move machine
away from area of spill. Avoid creating
any source of ignition until gasoline
vapors have disappeared.
Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not
store, spill or use gasoline near an
open flame.

IMPORTANT : BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DIRT
TO ENTER THE ENGINE WHEN CHECKING OR ADDING
OIL OR FUEL. USE CLEAN OIL AND FUEL AND STORE IN
AP PROVED, CLEAN, COVERED CONTAINERS. USE CLEAN
FILL FUNNELS.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 12)
• The engine in your unit has been shipped, from the fac-
tory, already filled with SAE 30 summer weight oil.
• With engine level, clean area around oil filler plug and
remove plug.
• Engine oil should be to point of overflowing when engine
is level. For ap proxi mate capacity see “PROD UCT
SPEC I FI CA TIONS” on page 3 of this manual. All oil
must meet A.P.I. Service Classification SF-SJ.
• For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See oil viscosity chart in the Mainte-
nance sec tion of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in
this manual.
CAUTION: Keep tine control in “OFF”
po si tion when starting engine.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 13)
1. Move shift lever indicator to “N” (neutral) position.
2. Open the fuel valve.
3. Turn the ENGINE SWITCH to the position “ I ” (ON).
4. Set the speed control lever 1/3 of the way towards the
high speed position.
5. Close the choke lever.
NOTE: If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is
low, close the choke lever fully.
NOTE: If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is
high, open the choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open.
6. Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt.
This is the “compression” point. Return the handle to
its original position and pull swiftly. Do not pull out the
rope all the way. After starting the engine, allow the
starter handle to return to its original position while still
holding the handle.
7. After starting the engine, gradually open choke by
turning the choke lever and finally keep it fully opened.
Do not fully open the choke lever immediately when
the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low,
because the engine may stop.
NOTE: If engine does not start, see trou ble shoot ing points.
