ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do

not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular

unlead ed gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will

increase carbon and lead oxide deposits

and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with

gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that

can be used within 30 days to assure fuel

freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near

an open flame.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture which leads to 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. Drain the gas

tank, start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use

fresh fuel next season. See Storage In struc-

tions for additional information. Never use

engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your riding mower has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled with

sum mer weight oil.

1. Check engine oil with riding mower on

level ground.

2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe

clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw cap

tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and

read oil level. If nec es sary, add oil until

“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do

not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See the oil

viscosity chart in the Main te nance sec tion

of this man u al).

• To change engine oil, see the Main te-

nance section in this manual.

Fuel Cap

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the first time or

if the engine has run out of fuel, it will take

extra cranking time to move fuel from the

tank to the engine.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress

clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

• Place motion control lever in neutral

position.

• Move deck clutch lever to “DISEN-

GAGED” position.

• Move throttle control to choke position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and

cold starting procedures below.

• Insert key into ignition and turn key clock-

wise to “START” position and release

key as soon as engine starts. Do not run

starter continuously for more than fifteen

seconds per minute. If the engine does

not start after several attempts, move

throttle control to fast position, wait a

few minutes and try again. If engine still

does not start, move the throttle control

back to the choke position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING

(50°F/10°C AND ABOVE)

• When engine starts, move the throttle

control to the fast position.

• The ground drive can now be used. If the

engine does not accept the load, restart

the engine and allow it to warm up for

one minute using the choke as described

above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

(50°F/10°C AND BELOW)

• When engine starts, allow engine to run

with the throttle control in the choke posi-

tion until the engine runs roughly, then

move throttle control to fast position. This

may require an engine warm-up period

from several seconds to several minutes,

depending on the temperature.
