STR46SPVG — INSPECTION

Fuel

To determine if the engine fuel is low, remove the cap from the
fuel tank and visually inspect the fuel level. If fuel level is low, fill
with unleaded gasoline. Handle fuel safely. Motor fuels are highly
flammable and can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke
while refueling. Do not attempt to refuel the ride-on trowel if the
engine is hot or running.

The level of oil in the gearbox should just reach the bottom
of the fill plug hole. The fill hole plug is located
approximately half way up the side of the gearbox. If
needed, refill with specially formulated Whiteman gearbox
lubricant P/N 10139 or ISO 680 oil.
