WARNING!
Before operating the tractor, make
sure the seat is engaged in the seat-stop. Engage the
parking brake. Stand behind the machine and pull
back on seat until it clicks into place.
Gas and Oil
The fuel tank is located under the hood. Remove the fuel cap by
turning it counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Do not overfill the tank.
STOP filling the tank once the fuel is seen inside the filler neck.
This ensures that a proper expansion volume is created. Do NOT
top off tank. See Figure 3-5.

WARNING! Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
NOTE: Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine. However,
you MUST check the oil level before operating.
CAUTION:
Always check the engine oil level before
each use as instructed in the Kohler Owner's Manual.
Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may result in
serious damage to your engine.
