You must add oil before starting the engine. This machine is shipped
without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from factory testing, but
you must add oil before starting the engine. Fill the reservoir slowly,
checking the level frequently to avoid overfilling.
To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
- The Engine must be level.
- The dipstick should not be screwed down to ensure an accurate oil
level reading.
The Frame and Engine must be level to get an accurate reading when
adjusting the oil level. Use blocks to adjust the height of the cutting head to
level the Frame.
