DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion
from gasoline can burn you and others and can
damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 6 to 13
mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark, which
can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion
from gasoline can burn you and others and can
damage property.
• Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets
or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment
with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container rather than from a gasoline-dispenser
nozzle.
• If you must use a gasoline-dispenser nozzle
must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with
the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until fueling is complete.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
conditioner bottle opening.
• Avoid contact with skin; wash off spills with
soap and water.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to provide
the following benefits:
•
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less.
For longer storage, drain the fuel tank.
•
Cleans the engine while it runs
•
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system,
which causes hard starting
Important:
Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to
the gas.
Note:
A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective
when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance
of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer
at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove the cap.
3. Add unleaded regular gasoline to the fuel tank, until
the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the
bottom of the filler neck.
Note:
This space in the tank allows the gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
4. Install the fuel-tank cap securely. Wipe up any gasoline
that may have spilled.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine, check
the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Checking the
Engine-Oil Level (page 32) .
Breaking in a New Machine
New engines take time to develop full power. Mower decks
and drive systems have higher friction when new, placing
additional load on the engine. Allow 40 to 50 hours of
break-in time for new machines to develop full power and
best performance.
