HOW TO CHECK THE OIL

WARNING: Do not check the engine oil level when the engine is running. Failure to check the oil level before you use the machine can destroy the engine. Always make sure the machine has the correct amount of oil.

Follow this procedure to check the oil:

1.Make sure the machine is on level ground.

2.Turn the cap marked "Engine Oil" counterclockwise.

3.Lift the dipstick out of the tube.

4.If the mark is below "OK", add oil.

5.When adding oil, make sure the oil does not pass the mark "FULL" on the dipstick.

See the engine manual for the correct type of oil.

HOW TO FILL THE GASOLINE TANK

WARNING: Fill the gasoline tank in an open area. Do not fill the tank near open flames. Do not fill the gasoline tank while the engine is running. Gasoline is very flam- mable and creates vapors. Serious injury to the operator or others could occur.

WARNING: Gasoline is very flammable. When filling the gasoline tank, make sure the gaso- line only reaches the bottom of the filter neck of the fuel tank.. Make sure you do not spill any gasoline. Use a cloth to remove spilled gas.

WARNING: Do not mix oil with the gasoline. Damage to the engine could occur.

Fill the gasoline tank only with regular unleaded gasoline. Use a clean container. Prevent dirt and debris from falling into the tank. Always tighten the cap on the tank.
