Before Operating

Checking the Crankcase Oil

The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, the level of the oil must be checked before
and after the engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 2) so dirt
cannot fall into the hole and damage the engine.
1. Oil dipstick
3. Remove the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean.
4. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube.
Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end. If
the oil level is low, add oil of the proper type to
raise the level to, but not over, the "F" mark on
the dipstick. Refer to Engine Oil, for the proper
oil type and viscosity. Add the oil slowly and
check the level often during this process. Do not
overfill.
5. Install the oil dipstick.

Checking the Tire Pressure

Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to
ensure proper levels.
The air pressure range in the front tires is 6–12 psi
(41– 83 kPa).
Figure 2
The air pressure range in the rear tires is 8– 15 psi
(55– 103 kPa).
The air pressure needed is determined by the payload
carried. The lower the air pressure, the less the
compaction and tire marks are minimized. Lower
pressure should not be used for heavy payloads at
high speeds.
Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads
at higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum
pressure.

Fuel Tank

Recommended Gasoline
1
Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable
for automotive use (87 pump octane minimum).
Leaded gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is
not available.
Important Never use gasoline containing methanol,
gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline
additives, or white gas because engine fuel system
damage could result.
