STARTING THE ENGINE

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT - PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE: The engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine.

Oil recommendations: Always use high quality detergent oil classified "For service SE, SF, SG" SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oils.

SAE 10W-30 multigrade oil may be used, but this will result in higher engine operating temperatures with consequential high oil consumption. It is imperative that the oil level is checked more frequently if this grade of oil is used in order to guard against serious engine damage.

Check oil level: Clean around the oil filler cap before remov- ing. With the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler-dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth. Screw the oil filler-dipstick back in place, then unscrew and remove it to check the oil level.

The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dip- stick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

Slowly fill with engine oil as necessary and replace the oil filler-dipstick.

IMPORTANT: The oil filler-dipstick must be secured to prevent oil leakage during operation.
