Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.

This engine is certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline with a 
pump octane rating of 86 or higher. 

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine 
has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine inside a 
building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks.

You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10% 
Ethanol (E10) or 5% Methanol by volume. In addition, Methanol must 
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content 
of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown above may cause starting 
and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and 
plastic parts of the fuel system. Engine damage or performance 
problems that result from using a fuel with percentages of Ethanol or 
Methanol greater than shown above are not covered by warranty. 

Never use stale or contaminated 
gasoline or an oil/gasoline 
mixture. Avoid getting dirt or 
water in the fuel tank.

To refuel, remove the fuel tank 
cap, and fill the tank with 
gasoline to the bottom of the filler 
neck. Refuel carefully to avoid 
spilling fuel. Do not overfill. There 
should be no fuel in the filler 
neck. 

After refueling, tighten the fuel 
tank cap.

1. Non-tether type:

Tighten the cap securely.

2. Tether type:

Tighten the cap until it clicks.

Move the mower at least 10 feet 
(3 meters) away from the fueling 
source and site before starting the engine.

Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when 
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered by 
the Distributor’s Limited Warranty (page 19).

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes 
before loading the mower on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and 
exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.

1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. This will prevent carburetor 

flooding and reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

2. If installed, remove the grass bag.

If a suitable loading ramp is not available, two people should lift the 
mower on and off the transport vehicle while holding the mower level.

Position the mower so all four wheels are on the bed of the transport 
vehicle. Tie the mower down with rope or straps, and block the 
wheels. Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from the controls, 
adjustment levers, cables, and the carburetor.

The handlebar can be folded so the mower will take up less space 
(page 14).

Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your lawn mower 
trouble free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep 
rust and corrosion from impairing your lawn mower’s function and 
appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use 
the lawn mower again.

Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from 
entering the air cleaner.

Wash the lawn mower, including the underside of the mower deck.

If using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment to clean the 
mower deck, be careful to avoid getting water into controls and 
cables, or anywhere near the engine air cleaner or muffler opening.

Before washing the underside of the mower deck, be sure the fuel 
valve is in the OFF position. Disconnect the spark plug cap. Rest the 
mower on its right side, so the carburetor side is up. This will help to 
prevent fuel leakage and hard starting due to carburetor flooding. 
Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands from the blade(s).

Remove the bag from the mower, and wash it with a garden hose or 
pressure washing equipment. Allow the bag to dry completely before 
storage.
