Add Gasoline
WARNING: Always use a safety gasoline container.
Do not smoke when adding gasoline to the fuel
tank. Do not add gasoline when you are inside an
enclosure. Before you add gasoline, stop the
engine and let the engine cool for several minutes.
Fill the fuel tank (A) with regular unleaded gasoline to the fill
line (B) (Figure 14). Do not use premium unleaded gasoline.
Make sure the gasoline is fresh and clean. Leaded gasoline
will increase deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
CAUTION: A mixture of alcohol (ethanol or methanol) and
gasoline (called gasohol), will attract moisture and cause
acid deposits during storage. While the unit is in storage,
the acids in the fuel can damage the fuel system.
To prevent engine problems with the fuel system, empty the
fuel system before storage of 30 days or longer as follows.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine. Let the engine run until the fuel lines
and the carburetor are empty.
3. After storage, make sure you use fresh fuel. See the
storage instructions for additional information.
4. Never use engine cleaner or carburetor cleaner in the
fuel tank or permanent damage can occur.
Carburetor
Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor. Engine adjustments
and repairs should be performed only by an authorized
dealer.

How to Start the Engine
WARNING: The electrical system has an operator
presence system that includes a sensor switch for
the seat. These components tell the electrical
system if the operator is sitting on the seat. This
system will stop the engine when the operator
leaves the seat. For your protection, always make
sure this system operates correctly.
NOTE: The engine will not start unless you depress the
brake pedal or engage the parking brake and move the blade
rotation control to the DISENGAGE position.
1. Push the brake pedal completely forward. Keep your
foot on the pedal.
2. Make sure the blade rotation control is in the
DISENGAGE position.
3. Move the throttle control completely forward to the
CHOKE or FAST position. Some models have a separate
choke knob. Pull the choke knob to the full CHOKE
position.
4. Turn the ignition key to the START position. Release
the key when the engine starts.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after four or five
tries, see the Troubleshooting section.
5. Slowly move the throttle control to the SLOW position.
6. Let a cold engine run for several minutes. Begin work
when the engine is warm. To start a hot engine, move
the throttle control to a position between FAST and
SLOW.
