GAS AND OIL FILL-UP
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as
instructed in the separate engine manual packed
with your tractor. Read instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT: Your tractor is shipped with oil;
however, you MUST check the oil level before operat-
ing. Be careful not to overfill.
WARNING: Overfilling with oil may
cause the engine to smoke. This will result
in poor engine performance and could
cause permanent engine damage.
The gasoline tank is located under the hood and has
a capacity of approximately two gallons. Do not
overfill.
WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors,
gasoline produces noxious fumes. Always
fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated area to
avoid inhalation of gasoline fumes.
WARNING: Never fill the fuel tank while
engine is running or while engine is hot.
WARNING: Never smoke while fueling
your tractor. Gasoline produces combusti-
ble fumes which can ignite and cause per-
sonal injury.
WARNING: Do not fill closer than 1/2
inch from the top of the fuel tank to prevent
spills and to allow for fuel expansion. If
gasoline is accidently spilled, move tractor
away from area of spill. Avoid creating any
source of ignition until gasoline vapors
have disappeared.
