Fuel Tank
WARNING
! Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors (see
the
Safety
section).
WARNING
! Fill to bottom of filler neck.
Do not overfill. Wipe off spilled oil or fuel. Do
not store, spill or use gasoline near an open
flame.
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
capacity for the tank is 3-1/2 gallons.
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage
and keep the cap properly tightened.
The engine will run on a minimum of 87-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See
Technical Data
concerning ethanol fuel.
Methanol fuel is not allowed. Do not use E85
alcohol based fuel. Damage to the engine and
components may occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32°F, use
fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine while
in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system must be emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next
season. See
Storage
for more information. Do
not use engine or carburetor cleaners in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot during operation.
There is a risk for burns if touched. Let engine
and exhaust system to cool before refueling.
Hydro Release Levers
Transaxle bypass linkages must be engaged
when pushing or pulling the mower. The release
levers are located on each side of the rear of the
unit below the rear engine plate. See
Moving
Machine By Hand
in the
Operation
section.
WARNING
! Bypass linkages are located
close to the muffler. To prevent burns, the
engine should be shut off and allowed to cool
before the bypass linkage levers are handled.
