Gas & Oil
The fuel tank is located at the outer/left of the dash and holds
3 gallons of gas. Remove the fuel cap by turning it counter-
clockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than 30 days old),
unleaded gasoline. Fill the tank no higher than the bottom of the
fill neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
WARNING! Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
NOTE: Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine.
However, you MUST check the oil level before operating.
See the Service section for instructions on checking,
adding and changing oil.
CAUTION: Always check the engine oil level before
each use as instructed in the engine operator’s
manual. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may
result in serious damage to your engine
