LEAF and LAWN VACUUM

Adding Engine Oil and Gasoline

Tools and Supplies Needed:

• Flexible Oil Fill Funnel (provided)

• Gas and Oil as recommended below

Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the Fuel and Engine oil Fills and only removing one cap each time

when you are ready to pour gasoline or oil into the correct Fill.

Adding Oil

Note: Use only the recommended high detergent oil. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to

your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.

1. Level the Leaf and Lawn Vacuum frame by adjusting the jack height (if

equipped) or by propping up the front frame.

2. Release the Dump Lever and open the Collector to gain access to the

engine oil dipstick. Being mindful that the collector should be guided into

position once the dump lever is pulled, as it can spring up with no load in

the bed.

Note: A flexible oil fill funnel is provided with your Leaf and Lawn Vac.

3. Remove the dipstick and add an initial quantity of the oil recommended by

the Engine Manufacturer (refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for

recommended quantities), and wait one minute for the oil to settle (Figure

71).

4. Insert the Dipstick, but do not screw it down to check the oil level.

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.

Adding Gasoline

1. Fill the gas tank (Figure 72) to within 1-1/2 inches below top of fill neck (to allow for fuel expansion) with fresh, unleaded

gas. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more information.

Oil Fill

• 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 dipstick frequently to

avoid overfilling.

• The engine needs to be on a level surface or overfilling could occur which could damage the engine during use.

• To check the oil level, insert the dipstick all the way in, but do not screw it down.
