6.2 Fuel Level Check
Check the fuel level daily. A gauge on the top of the tank
indicates fuel level. The fuel tank is located on the left-hand side
of the machine below the tool box. Avoid running the tank dry.
Starting with a full tank helps to eliminate or reduce operating
interruptions for refueling.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the
engine inside a building where gasoline fumes can come in
contact with flames or sparks.
For fuel specification, see Engine Fuel on page 52. Refer to
the engine manual for additional information on fuels.
Procedure:
1. Clean the area around fuel tank cap. Fill the tank to 1/2"
(12 mm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for
any fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
2. Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled fuel.
To help prevent running low on bar oil, top up
reservoir every time fuel is added.
6.3 Engine Oil Level Check
Check engine oil level daily. Check with the engine stopped.
IMPORTANT! Running the engine with a low oil level can
cause engine damage that is not covered by warranty.
Procedure:
1. Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Fully insert the oil level dipstick, then remove it to check the
oil level.
3. If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap and add oil
until the level is at the FULL mark on the oil level dipstick.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use.
4. Reinstall the oil level dipstick and oil filler cap.
