Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not mix
oil with gasoline.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the lawn mower is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. The capacity of the fuel tank is
0.21gallons.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over during use even with the
fuel cap in place.
4. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
Never use old gasoline.
Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting difficult. Never store lawn mower for extended periods of
time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
ENGINE START/STOP CONTROL
This lawn mower comes equipped with an engine start/stop control to
prevent unintentional starting and to ensure safe operation. Releasing this
lever will quickly stop the blade in case of danger. The lever must be actuated
before the lawn mower is started. When the engine start/stop lever is released, it
must return to its initial position.
Before you start mowing, you should run through this process several times in
order to ensure that the lever and actuator cables are working properly. Repeat the
test several times after the engine has started up. When the engine start/stop
Control is released, the engine must stop within a few seconds. If not, contact Customer Service.
Warning: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started.
