FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
Connecting the Battery Wire
We ship all Electric-Starting Mowers with the negative terminal Battery wire
disconnected. This prevents the Battery from discharging during shipment.
Before using your Mower, you must connect the Battery wire.
Tools Needed:
• Two 5/16" Wrenches
1. Connect the negative wire to the negative terminal on the Battery (Figure 6).
Adding Oil and Gasoline
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps ON the Fuel and Oil
Fills until you are ready to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct Fill.
NOTE: Use only SAE 30 high detergent oil. Other types of oil could cause problems
operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil
information.
1. Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 1/2 of the SAE 30 high detergent oil recommended by the Engine
manufacturer into the Oil Fill (Figure 1 on page 7) and wait one minute for the oil to settle.
2. Check the Dipstick and continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until the oil reaches the full
mark. Be careful not to overfill.
3. Fill the Fuel Tank to not more than 1/4" from the bottom of the Fill Neck with fresh, unleaded gas. See your Engine Owner’s
Manual for more information.
4. Open the Fuel Shut-Off Valve which is located on the Fuel Tank Mount (Figure 1 on page 7).
Check the Tire Pressures
The maximum Tire pressure is marked on the side of each Tire. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended maximum
pressure
• You must add oil before starting the engine. This machine is shipped without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from
factory testing, but you must add oil before starting the engine. Fill the reservoir slowly, checking the level frequently to avoid
overfilling.
•
To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
- the machine should be on a level surface.
- the dipstick SHOULD be screwed down on Briggs & Stratton Engines to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
- the dipstick SHOULD NOT be screwed down on Kawasaki Engines to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
