Adding Fuel
WARNING! Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
WARNING! Always keep hands and feet clear of
equipment moving parts. Do not use a pressurized
starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.
Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel. 1.
A fuel level indicator is located in the fuel tank. Fill tank 2.
until fuel reaches the fuel level indictor, Fig. 3-3. Be careful
not to overfill.
Adding Oil
CAUTION: The engine is shipped without oil in the
engine. You must fill the engine with oil before
operating. Running the engine with insufficient oil
can cause serious engine damage and void the
engine warranty.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick 1.
clean. See Fig. 3-4.
Slowly add oil until the oil level registers between high 2.
(H) and low (L), Fig. 3-4. Refer to the Engine Maintenance
section for the correct oil viscosity and engine oil capacity.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling the engine with oil may result
in the engine smoking, hard starting or spark plug fouling.
