E. Filling Fuel Tank

! WARNING

An adult should fuel this engine.

NEVER allow children to refuel this

engine. Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and can explode. Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from engine. To prevent injury or death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:

1.Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling.

2.Be sure engine is outdoors and in a well-ventilated area.

3.Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove fuel fill cap. See Figure 14 on page 7. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.

NOTE

For recommended fuel, see Table 3 on page 4. See "III. Oil and Fuel Specifications" instructions on page 4.

4.Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel slowly, being careful to avoid spilling. DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Leave space in the tank to allow fuel to expand without overflowing.

5.Replace anti-splash fuel fill cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel before starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT start engine. Move machine away from area of spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors are gone.

NOTE

Replace a damaged or missing fuel fill cap only with a genuine Tecumseh replacement anti-splash fuel fill cap. Failure to do so may VOID YOUR WARRANTY

See Figure 15.

6.Be sure fuel valve, if present (see equipment manufac- turer’s instructions) is open. See Figure 16.

The OH358SA is a standout model featuring a powerful overhead valve (OHV) design that enhances performance while ensuring fuel efficiency. This engine is known for its air-cooled, single-cylinder configuration that delivers robust power. With a displacement of 358cc, it is capable of producing substantial torque, making it excellent for larger mowers and commercial-grade applications.

On the other hand, the OH318SA engine is a versatile alternative equipped with similar principles of efficiency and power. With a displacement of 318cc, it is designed for medium-duty equipment, providing sufficient grunt for residential mowing tasks and light commercial usage. Its compact size and lightweight design contribute to improved maneuverability, which is advantageous in tight spaces.

The LH318SA takes the durability of the OH318SA a step further by integrating a heavy-duty crankshaft and reinforced components. This model is particularly suited for harsh working conditions, combining a robust build with an innovative air filtration system that prolongs engine life by maintaining cleanliness in critical areas.

The LH195SP and LH195SA models gear towards smaller applications, offering a balance between performance and weight. Both engines feature a 195cc displacement, making them ideal choices for lightweight equipment. The LH195SP is particularly designed with self-propelling mechanisms in mind, enabling effortless operation of lawn mowers and similar devices.

In terms of technologies, all these models leverage Tecumseh’s commitment to engineering excellence, incorporating sound dampening features for reduced noise levels and enhanced user comfort. They are also equipped with easy-start technology, ensuring that even novice users can get going without cumbersome procedures.

The combination of high-quality materials, ergonomic designs, and technological innovations ensures that Tecumseh engines remain reliable under various loads and operating conditions.
