Check the Tire Pressure
Tools Needed:
Tire Pressure Gauge
Air Compressor
1. Remove the Valve Stem Protective Cap (Figure 24) and check the tire
pressure with a Tire Pressure Gauge.
2. Compare the tire pressure reading with the manufacturer's recommended
tire pressure stamped on the side of the tire.
3. If the pressure is too low, add air through the Valve Stem with an air hose.
4. Replace the Valve Stem Protective Cap when finished.
Adding Oil and Gasoline
Engine Oil
5W-30 or 0W-30: -13°F (-25°C) or higher
0W-30: -13°F (-25°C) or lower
Fuel Unleaded gasoline
Note: Use only the recommended high detergent engine oil. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer
to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.
1. Position the machine so the Frame and Engine are level. Remove the Oil
Fill/Dipstick (Figure 25) and clean the end of it with a rag.
2. Machines are shipped with no oil. Initially add 3/4 of the oil recommended
by the Engine Manufacturer (see oil quantities in your Engine User
Manual). Wait one minute for the oil to settle.
3. Insert the Dipstick without screwing it in and check the oil level. Clean the
Dipstick with the rag after checking.
4. Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until
the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill.
5. When full, replace the Dipstick and screw all the way down.
6. Remove the Gas Fill Cap and fill the Gas Tank with fresh, unleaded gas
(with a minimum of 85 Octane) to approximately 1" to 1-1/2" below the top
of the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion (Figure 25). Be careful not to
overfill and ensure you reinstall the Gas Fill Cap before starting the engine.
See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more detailed information.
Note: To refill the gas tank, turn the engine OFF and let the engine cool at least five minutes before removing the gas fill cap.

Do not over inflate the tires. Inflate to the manufacturers recommended
pressure found on the tires.
You must add oil before starting the engine. This machine is shipped without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from
factory testing, but you must add oil before starting the engine. Fill the reservoir slowly, checking the level frequently to avoid
overfilling.
To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
- The Engine must be level.
- The dipstick should not be screwed down to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
