BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

ADD OIL

Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in
the engine. For type and grade of oil to
use, see “EN GINE” in the Maintenance
section of this manual.

CAUTION:

DO NOT overfi ll engine with

oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muffl er
on startup.
1.   Be sure lawnmower is level.
2.   Remove oil dipstick from oil fi ll spout.
3.   You receive a container of oil with the

unit. Slowly pour the entire container
down the oil fi ll spout into the engine.

NOTE:

Initial oil fi ll requires only 18 oz.

due to residual oil in engine from the
manufacturers 100% quality testing. When
changing oil you may need 20 oz.
4. Insert and tighten dipstick.

IMPORTANT:

• Check oil level before each use. Add oil

if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.

• Change the oil after every 25 hours of

operation or each season. You may
need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions. See “TO
CHANGE ENGINE OIL” in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.

CAUTION:

Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open fl ame.

CAUTION

separation 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. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
