a gasoline engine), fill the fuel tank (beside the engine on
the left or right side of the mower). When the fuel reaches
one inch from the top of the tank, stop. DO NOT OVER-
FILL. Space must be left for expansion.

Engine Oil:
(Filled at the factory before shipment.) Pull out
the oil dipstick, wipe it off and reinsert it. Pull it out again
and read the oil level. If it is below the operating range, add
oil through the fill tube using a funnel to bring it up to the
top of the operating range.
Note: Gasoline Engine: Use SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40 engine oil, rated for ser-
vice SJ.

Hydraulic Oil:
(Filled at the factory before shipment.) The
hydraulic oil tank is located beneath the operator’s seat.
Always wipe off the area around the oil tank fill neck before
checking the oil level to prevent dirt from contaminating the
oil. Remove the cap and make sure the oil level is up to the
lowest hole on the oil tank fill neck. The top hole is for vent-
ing. If the oil level is low, fill with a good grade of SAE20W-
50 oil.
