Gas and Oil Fill-up

The gasoline tank is located under the fender and has a

capacity of three gallons. Unthread the fuel cap by

turning it counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh

(under 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill tank to no

more than four inches below the top of the filler neck to

allow space for fuel expansion. Do not overfill.

WARNING:

Use extreme care when

handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely

flammable and the vapors are explosive.

Never fuel machine indoors or while the

engine is hot or running. Extinguish

cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of

ignition.

IMPORTANT:

Your tractor is shipped with oil in the

engine. However, you MUST check the oil level before

operating. Refer to Checking the Oil Level on page 19 for

detailed instructions. Be careful not to overfill.
