HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE

NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.

See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety, operation, maintenance, and storage.

WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to use. Always use a safety gasoline container. Do not smoke when adding gasoline to the engine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill with gasoline. Before you add gasoline, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for several minutes.

IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and must not be used on or near any unimproved

forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it must be maintained in effective working order by the operator.

In the State of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. See an Authorized Service Center for a spark arrester for the muffler.

In some areas, local law requires the use of a resistor spark plug to control the ignition signals. See an Authorized Service Center for a resistor spark plug for the engine.

NOTE: Actual sustained horsepower will likely be lower due to operating limitations and environmental factors.

IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START MOWING

-Check the engine oil.

-Fill the fuel tank with gasoline.

-Check the level of the mower housing.

-Check the air pressure of the tires.

-Attach the battery cables.
