Checking / Adding Fuel

To add fuel:

1.Remove the fuel cap (E, Figure 18).

2.Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck. This will allow for fuel expansion.

NOTE: Do not overfill. Refer to your engine manual for specific fuel recommendations.

3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.

Fuel Filter

The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between fuel tank and carburetor, near the fuel pump. If filter is dirty or clogged, replace as follows:

1.Place a container below the fuel filter (F) to catch spilled fuel.

2.Using pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel filter.

3.Remove hoses from filter.

4.Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.

5.Secure with hose clamps.

6.Reconnect the negative battery cable when finished.

Change Oil & Filter

1.Warm engine by running for a few minutes. (Refer to the engine operator’s manual for oil and filter replacement instructions.)

2.Route the oil drain hose (A) over the front end of the engine deck. Place the drain hose down between the front of the engine deck and the back of the cutter deck.

3.Place a small pan under the oil drain hose to catch the oil. Using the appropriate tools, remove the cap (B), from the oil drain hose and drain the engine oil into the pan.

4.After draining, replace the cap and wipe up any spilled oil. Reposition the oil drain hose so that it is facing towards the back of the machine.

5.Place an absorbent shop cloth under the engine oil filter

(C). Remove the engine oil filter and replace with a new one.

6.Remove the oil dipstick (D) and refill with oil. (Refer to the engine operator’s manual for oil recommendations.)

7.Remove the shop cloth and wipe up any spilled oil.

Engine Maintenance

Refer to engine owner’s manual for all engine maintenance procedures and recommendations.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.

Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose clamps further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip hoses firmly over filter after installation.

NOTICE

Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline additives, premium gasoline, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage could result.
