If the oil level reading is below the Lower Limit mark on the dipstick, slowly pour only enough oil
into the f iller hole to raise the oil level to the Upper Limit mark on the dipstick. Do not overf ill the

Filling the Fuel Tank with Gasoline
•
Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline with an octane rating of 86 or higher. Using unleaded gasoline
results in fewer combustion deposits and longer engine life.
•
Do not use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, 10% ethanol, or 15% MTBE. Using fuels
containing a higher percentage of these additives will damage the engine and void manufacturer’s
warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline that is stale or has been stored since the last mowing season or longer.
