BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE ADD OIL
Before each use the oil level must be checked and if necessary topped up with SAE30 engine oil.
OIL FILLER CAP/DIPSTICK
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in the engine.
CAUTION: DO NOT overfill the engine with oil, or it will smoke heavily from the exhaust on startup.
1. Be sure the lawnmower is on a level surface.
2. Remove the oil dipstick from the oil fill spout.
3. Insert and tighten the dipstick.
IMPORTANT:
z Check the oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill to the full line on the dipstick.
z 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 Maintenance
section of this manual.
ADD PETROL
z Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the tank filler neck. Do
not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded petrol. Do
not mix oil with petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that can
be used within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness. Old or
stale fuel can cause damage to the engine carburettor
which would not be covered under the warranty.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill
or use petrol near an open flame.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methane can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation 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 storage of 30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start the engine and let
it run until the fuel lines and carburettor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions
for additional information.
Never use engine or carburettor cleaner products in the fuel tank, permanent damage may occur.
