windows are open.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord

(kickback) will pull hand and arm

toward engine faster than you can

let go. To avoid kickback, slowly pull

the cord until you feel resistance,

then pull rapidly.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises

or sprains could result.

Rotating parts can contact or

entangle hands, feet, hair,

clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe

laceration can result.

WARNING

Operating

Engines give off carbon

monoxide, an odorless,

colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon mon-

oxide can cause nausea,

fainting or death.

WARNING

After engine has started, let it warm up several seconds

to several minutes, depending on outside temperature.

For maximum performance and life, operate engine with

throttle in FAST.

•Do not tip engine or

equipment at angle

which causes gasoline

to spill.

•Do not choke

carburetor to stop

engine.

Periodically remove grass

buildup under mower deck.

(See Maintenance.)

•Operate equipment with guards in

place.

•Keep hands and feet away from

rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove

jewelry.

•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing,

dangling drawstrings or items that

could become caught.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.

Engine parts, especially muffler,

become extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur

on contact.

Combustible debris, such as

leaves, grass, brush, etc. can

catch fire.

WARNING

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool

before touching.

•Remove accumulated combustibles from

muffler area and cylinder area.

•Install and maintain in working order a spark

arrester before using equipment on

forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered

unimproved land. The state of California

requires this (Section 4442 of the California

Public Resources Code). Other states may

have similar laws. Federal laws apply on

federal land.

Stopping

WARNING

Oil

Oil Capacity

The engine holds approximately 18 oz. or 0.5 liter.

•Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For

Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher, such as Briggs &

Stratton SAE 30.

•Do not use special additives.

•Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC

GF-2, API certification mark and API

service symbol (shown at left) with

“SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or

higher, is an acceptable oil at all

temperatures. Use of synthetic oil

does not alter required oil change

intervals.

Oil Recommendation

°F-20 0 20 40 60 80 100

°C-30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40

EXPECTED STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

SAE Viscosity Grades

* Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.

The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30,

10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will

result in higher than normal oil consumption. When using

a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently.

** SAE 30 oil, if used below 40°F (4°C), will result in

hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to

inadequate lubrication.

CAUTION

Checking Oil Level

•Check oil level before starting the engine.

•Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours.

•Keep oil level at FULL.

[1] Place engine level

and clean around oil

fill area.

[2] Remove dipstick and

wipe clean with cloth.

[3] Replace and tighten

dipstick. Remove and

check oil level. Oil level

should be at FULL line

on dipstick.

[4] If needed, add oil slowly -

recheck. Do not over fill.

[5] Wipe dipstick clean,

replace and tighten.

Remove and check oil

level. Oil level should be

at FULL line on dipstick.

Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause the

engine to not start, or hard starting. If over the

FULL mark on dipstick, drain oil to reduce oil

level to FULL mark on dipstick.

CAUTION

Changing Oil

Change oil after first 5 to 8 hours of use, then every 50

hours or every season. Change oil every 25 hours when

operating the engine under heavy load or in high

temperatures.

[1] Run engine until it runs out of fuel. Otherwise, fuel

can leak out, creating a fire/explosion hazard,

when you tip engine in Step 4.

[2] Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away

from spark plug.

[3] With engine OFF but still warm remove dipstick.

[4] Top oil drain, keep spark plug side up. Bottom or

side oil drain (if equipped), keep engine level.

Drain oil into appropriate receptacle.

Note: Top oil drain is recommended method,

however oil can drain from side (if equipped) or

bottom as shown.

[5] Place engine level. Add about (18 ounces: 0.5

liter) new oil. Fill to FULL line on dipstick. Do not

overfill. Replace dipstick.

Used oil is a hazardous waste product. Dispose

of used oil properly. Do not discard with

household waste. Check with your local

authorities, service center, or dealer for safe

disposal/recycling facilities.

CAUTION

On bottom oil drain, DO NOT rotate blade or

any other parts unless spark plug wire is

disconnected from spark plug.
