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 start-
ing 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.
