If the oil level is below the Add mark, add a small
amount of oil slowly to the oil-fill tube, and then
repeat steps 6 through 8 until the oil level on the
dipstick is at the Full mark.

If the oil level is above the Full mark, drain the
excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick is at the
Full mark.

Important:

If the oil level in the crankcase is

too low or too high and you run the engine,
you may damage the engine.

9.

Install the dipstick securely.

Charging the Battery

Service Interval:

Every 25 hours

WARNING

CALIFORNIA

Proposition 65 Warning

Battery posts, terminals, and related

accessories contain lead and lead compounds,

chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

Charge the battery for 24 hours initially, then monthly (every
25 starts) or as needed. Always use the charger in a sheltered
area and charge the battery at room temperature (70° or 22°
C) whenever possible.

1.

Connect the charger to the wire harness located below
the ignition key (Figure 21).

Figure 21

2.

Plug the charger into a wall outlet.

Note:

When the battery no longer holds a charge,

recycle or dispose of the lead-acid battery according
to local codes.

Note:

Your battery charger may have a 2-color LED display

that indicates the following states of charging:

A red light indicates that the charger is charging the
battery.

A green light indicates that the charger is fully charged or
the charger is disconnected from the battery.

A flashing light that alternates between red and green
indicates that the battery is nearly fully charged. This state
lasts only a few minutes until the battery is fully charged.

Replacing the Fuse

Your machine comes with a fuse that protects the electric
starter. If the battery does not charge or the engine does not
run with the electric starter, the fuse may be blown. Replace
it with a 40-amp plug-in type fuse.

Important:

You cannot start the machine with the

electric starter or charge the battery unless you install
the fuse.

1.

Unclip the battery cover and open it (Figure 22).

Replacing the Blade

Service Interval:

Yearly

Important:

You will need a torque wrench to install the

blade properly

. If you do not have a torque wrench or

are uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact
an Authorized Service Dealer.

Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If the
blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the
blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened or replace it.
