REFER TO THE ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL.
THE ENGINE ON YOUR STUMP GRINDER HAS BEEN SHIPPED DRY.
BE SURE TO SERVICE THE ENGINE ACCORDING TO THE
ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL PRIOR TO STARTING.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE NOT WARRANTIED BY
THE ENGINE MANUFACTUROR.
WARNING: Do not fill closer than ½” from the top of the fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow for fuel
expansion. If gasoline is accidentally spilled, move the mower away from the area of the spill. Avoid creating
any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have disappeared.
CAUTION: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (gasohol, ethanol, methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system or an
entire engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be empty before storage for
periods over 30 days. For more information, refer to the engine owner’s manual. Use fresh fuel each season.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may result.
ALWAYS CHECK OIL LEVEL PRIOR TO STARTING
THE STUMP GRINDER.
