C Series Garden Tractor - Engine Checklist
STARTING AND RUNNING CHECK LIST
Before you start:
Check that the engine is filled with the correct oil
(SAE 30) and to the recommended mark – never
Fill your Petrol tank with fresh unleaded premium petrol. If it is more than 1/3rd full of old stale petrol that has been in the tank 8 weeks or more – drain and then refill. If less than 1/3rd full of old untreated fuel, completely fill with new premium unleaded petrol. We recommend the use of Countax Petrol Additive – it will keep petrol stored in the tank in good order and it lubricates and protects jets and valves.
Ensure the throttle is advanced to ‘FAST’, and if the engine is cold that the choke is engaged.
Ensure that the Park Brake is ‘ON’ and that the Brake/Clutch pedal is full depressed.
INSERT THE KEY AND TURN CLOCKWISE
If the dashboard ignition lights fail to come on – check:
That the battery terminals are connected (see page 18).
That the 15amp fuse is properly located and has not blown (see page 19).

That the fuel tank is full and the Petrol Tap is turned ON (page 16).
