BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 16)
• The engine in yourtractor has been shipped, from the
factory,' already filled with summer weight oil.
• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.
• Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil off.
Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest oil fill cap on
the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube. Remove
and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until “FULL”
mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
• For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the
Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).
• To change engine oii, see the Customer Responsibili­
ties section in this manual.
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded
gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits
and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake
pedal and set parking brake.
• Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.
• Move attachment dutch to “DISENGAGED” position.
• Move throttle control to fast («%) position
• Pull choke controi out for a cold engine start attempt.
For a warm engine start attempt the choke control may
not be needed.
Note: EBefore starting, read the warm and cold starting
procedures below,
» Insert key into ignition and turn key clockv/ise to “START”
position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do
not run starter continuously for more than fifteen sec­
onds per minute. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, push choke control in, wait a few
minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, pull
the choke control out and retry.
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)
• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until
the engine begins to run smoothly. If the engine starts
to run roughly, puli the choke control out slightly for a
few seconds and then continue to push the control in
slowly,
• The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If
the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine
and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke
as described above,
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)
• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until
the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to push
the choke control in
small steps allowing the engine to
accept small changes in speed and load, until the
choke control is
fully in. If the engine starts to run
roughly, pull the choke control out slightly for a few
seconds and then continue to push the control in
slowly. This may require an engine warm-up period
from several seconds to several minutes, depending
on the temperature.
