Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the Fuel and Oil
Fills until you are ready to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct Fill.
Note: You will need approximately 17 to 20 ounces of high detergent oil depending
on Engine type. Use only high detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG,
SH, SJ” or higher. Do not use special additives. Other types of oil could
cause problems with the operation of your machine. Please refer to your
Engine Owner’s Manual provided with your mower for detailed information
on oil quantity and cold temperature oil specifications.
1. Place the machine on a level surface remove the Oil Fill/Dipstick (Figure 3).
2. Machines are shipped with no oil. Initially add 17 to 20oz. of the oil
recommended by the Engine Manufacturer. Wait one minute for the oil to
settle.
3. Insert the Oil Fill/Dipstick into the hole but do not screw it on all the way.
Remove the Dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 4). Clean the Dipstick
with the rag after checking.
4. Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Oil
Fill/Dipstick until the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill.
5. Replace the Dipstick and screw all the way on when full.
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 5). Be careful not to overfill and
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.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others.
To prevent static electricity from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or mower directly on the ground before filling,
not in a vehicle or on an object.
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.
