Before Starting the Machine
Prevent Engine Damage
To prevent damage to the engine, the machine is shipped without any fluids.
The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and fuel before
starting the engine.
Oil Type
When operating the Air Force Hover Mower, always use a high-quality
synthetic oil. Suggested classification is 10W-30. Additives are not
recommended. To prolong the life of your engine, change the oil after the
initial first five hours of use.
Oil Level Check
When checking the oil, keep the mower on a level surface. Remove the oil
cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick without
screwing the cap back on, and remove it to check the oil level.
Correct oil level is when the brim of the liquid is at the FULL mark on the
dipstick. Do not overfill the engine with oil.
Fuel Type
Always use clean, unleaded fuel. Purchase fuel in a 30-day quantity to keep
fresh fuel on hand.
Fill to the base of the neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the
fuel tank.
