Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped)
will either stop the engine or activate a warning device on
the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check
the oil level with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches
the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper pres-
sure before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not
start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the
oil pressure problem corrected.
1. Pull up tractor hood to access the fuel tank.
2. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove
the fuel cap (A, Figure 5).

Checking/Adding Oil
Before adding or checking the oil
1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 4) and wipe with a
clean cloth.
2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should
be at the FULL mark (B) on the dipstick.
C). Do not
After adding oil, wait one minute and then
recheck the oil level.
5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 1,524 meters (5,000 feet), a minimum 85
octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.
Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased
emissions. See an authorized dealer for high altitude ad-
justment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 762 meters
(2,500 feet) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
tude use, see below.
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as
E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run
on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine compo-
nents and void the engine warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. See the Storage section. All fuel is
not the same. If starting or performance problems occur,
change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is
