Gas and Oil Fill-up

Use only clean, fresh (under 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill tank to no more than 1/2 inch below the top of the filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.

WARNING: Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition before filling the fuel tank.

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manufacturer’s Operator/Owner Manual packed with your tractor. Read instructions carefully.
