Clean dirt from around fuel tank cap, remove cap and begin filling. Do not fill fuel tanks to the top if mowing on hilly terrain or in hot weather. Gas can rise up to the fuel cap vent hole and seep out. When finished, screw cap back on securely and wipe up any spilled gasoline. Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.

IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the fuel can provide benefits such as:

1.Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tanks.

2.Cleans the engine during operation.

3.Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.

IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol.

Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas. Follow the gas stabilizer/conditioner manufacturer’s directions for best results.

The fuel filter is installed in the fuel line between the Left/Right Fuel Tank Valve and engine fuel pump. Location of fuel filter will vary depending on which engine your mower is equipped with. See engine owner’s manuals for exact location of fuel filter and instructions on removal and installation.

Replace filter annually or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Be sure to install the fuel filter with Flow Arrow pointing towards the engine side of the fuel line. Always check fuel line hoses for any cracks or leaks. Replace as needed.

Flow Arrow Indicates direction fuel must flow through the filter.
