ADD GASOLINE

•Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do

not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline wilt increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan-

tities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

_,CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.

IMPORTANT: When operating in temper- atures betow32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather starting.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separa- tion and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid

engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days

or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine.

1.Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

2.Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.

3.Move attachment clutch to disengaged position.

4.Move throttle control to choke position. NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures below.

. Insert key into ignition and turn key clockwise to start position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do

not run starter continuously for more than fifteen seconds per minute. If the engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle control to fast position, wait a few minutes and try

again. If engine still does not start, move the throttle control back to the

choke position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and above)

6.When engine starts, move the throttle control to the fast position.

•The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If the engine does not accept the toad, restart the engine and

allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50 ° F and below)

6.When engine starts, leave throttle control in choke position until engine warms up and begins to run roughly. Once rough running begins, imme- diately move the throttle control to the

fast position. Engine warm-up may take from several seconds to several

minutes (the colder the temperature,

the longer the warm-up).

• The attachments can also be used dur- ing the engine warm-up period.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance (see "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
