Hayter Mowers Motif 43F - Manual (Page 13)

To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or
petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and
petrol before starting the engine.
Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 10W-30 Oil.
Never use additives with this oil.
To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed
after the first 5 hours of use - refer to ‘Maintenance Schedule’.
Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With the mower on a
level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil
from it with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick back into the oil filler
neck but do not screw it in. Remove the dipstick and check the oil
level.
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dipstick.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities
that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added
engine protection Honda recommend the use of their fuel additive
which is available from an authorised Honda service dealer.
Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the
fuel tank.
