ALWAYS turn off engine before refueling!
NEVER refuel indoors or when engine is hot!

NEVER smoke while refueling!

The Lastec Mower 3372 is equipped with two 6 gallon fuel tanks. They are located as the left and
right side fenders. The Lastec Mower is shipped dry (no fuel) from the factory, so you will need to
fuel the Lastec Mower before operating. (The engine has been run at the factory, so bleeding the
fuel lines is unnecessary.) The fuel tank caps have a gauge that shows the approximate fuel level
at all times. Do not attempt to fuel the Lastec Mower until you read and understand the
entire INITIAL SET-UP section of this manual.
Fuel: Use only No. 2 fuel. Do not use any other alternative fuel. Kerosene and low quality fuel will
adversely affect the engine. Contaminants in the fuel can adversely affect the fuel injection pump.
Do not allow either fuel tank to drain completely of fuel. This can allow air into the fuel system. If
this happens, the fuel system will have to be bled before restarting the engine.
Refer to the Kubota Diesel Engine Operator’s Manual for proper instructions.
