oil, or it will smoke heavily from the
muffl er on startup.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level.
2. Remove oil fi ll cap/dipstick from oil fi ll spout.
3. You recieve a container of oil with the unit. Slowly
pour the entire container down the oil fi ll spout into the
engine.
4. Insert and tighten oil fi ll cap/dipstick.
IMPORTANT:
• Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill

der dusty, dirty conditions. See "TO CHANGE ENGINE

a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.

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 prob-
lems, the fuel system should be emptied before
stor age of 30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank,
start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
