Pre-Start
Fill fuel tank on level ground. For best results use
only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Important: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white
gas because the fuel system could be damaged.
Do Not add oil to gasoline.
Do Not overll fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to the
bottom of the ller neck. The empty space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand. Overlling may result
in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission
system (if equipped).
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform all the
necessary inspection and maintenance steps.

mower. Lower the roll bar temporarily only when
absolutely necessary.

tabs interlocking as shown in Figure 13 to lock
the roll bar in the raised, operate position.
