Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 7.5 gal (28.4 l)
1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the cap
(Fig. 10). Add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank
until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel
tank completely full.

that may have spilled.
Check Engine Oil Level
Note: Check the engine oil daily and when the engine is
cold.
1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
2. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 11) so dirt cannot
fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.

3. Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 12).
4. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube. Pull the
dipstick out and look at the metal end (Fig. 12). If oil
level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler
tube to raise the level to the full mark.

Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because this may cause engine damage. Do not run the
engine with oil below the low mark because the engine
may be damaged as a result.
