Checking the Crankcase Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the level of the oil must be checked before and after the
engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 2) so dirt cannot fall
into the hole and damage the engine.

3. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean.
4. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, but do not
thread it onto the tube. Pull the dipstick out and look at
the metal end. If the oil level is low, remove the filler
cap from the valve cover (Fig. 2) and pour oil into the
opening until the oil level is up to the “FULL” mark on
the dipstick; refer to Engine Oil, page , for the proper
oil type and viscosity. Add the oil slowly and check the
level often during this process. Do not overfill.
5. Install the oil dipstick.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure
proper levels.
The air pressure range for the front and rear tires is
8–22 psi (55–103 kPa).
The air pressure needed is determined by the payload
carried. The lower the air pressure, the less the compaction
and tire marks are minimized. Lower pressure should not
be used for heavy payloads at high speeds.
Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads at
higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
Fuel Tank
Recommended Gasoline
Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable for
automotive use (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded
gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.
Important Never use gasoline containing methanol,
gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline
additives, or white gas because engine fuel system damage
could result.
