OPERATION
ADD OIL
The lawn mower is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the lawn
mower for the first time. The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 15.2 fl. oz. For general use, we
recommend 5W, 4-stroke engine oil.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classifications SJ,
SL, or SM (synthetic oils may be used). Use the ASE viscosity grade of oil from the following chart that
matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil changes.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the lawn mower is on a level surface. Tilting the lawn mower to assist in filling will cause oil to
flow into engine areas and will cause damage. Keep lawn mower level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. Add oil slowly as to not overflow the unit.
4. To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill opening
without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.
5. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark reaches to the top of the dipstick. Do not overfill
the crankcase.
6. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly.
ADD GASOLINE
Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not mix
oil with gasoline.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the lawn mower is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. The capacity of the fuel tank is
0.21 gallons. NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over during
use even with the fuel cap in place.
4. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Never use old gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
• Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting difficult. Never store lawn mower for extended periods
of time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
NOTE: After completing the above preparation, the engine is ready to be started.
