Oil Pressure
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches
the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper
pressure before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not
start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the
oil pressure problem corrected.
Check and Add Engine Oil
1. Place the tractor on a level surface (see Figure 5).
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High alti-
tude use, see below.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is accept-
able.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15
and E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to
run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will damage
the engine components and void the engine warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. See the Storage section. All fuel is
not the same. If starting or performance problems occur,
change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is cer-
tied to operate on gasoline. The emissions control system
for this engine is EM (Engine Modications).
2. Stop the engine and remove starter insert.
3. Clean the oil ll area of any debris and remove.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean cloth (see
Figure 6).
5. Fully insert the dipstick.
6. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be
at the FULL mark on the dipstick.
7. If FULL, insert the dipstick and tighten securely.
If LOW, add oil slowly into the engine oil ll tube (see Oil
Recommendations). After adding oil,
wait one minute, then check the oil level.
