You may use gasoline containing the following components identified in Table 2. • DO NOT use leaded fuel. • Fuel must be fresh and clean. NEVER use fuel left over from last season or stored for long periods. • NEVER mix oil with fuel. • DO NOT use fuel containing Methanol (Wood Alcohol). IV. Before Starting Your Engine A. Checking Oil Level To avoid engine damage, it is important to: • Check oil level before each use and every 5 operating hours when engine is warm. Check oil level more frequently during engine break-in. • Keep oil level between "FULL" and "ADD" marks on dipstick. See Figure 7. • Be sure oil fill cap is tightened securely. NOTES Do not overfill oil filler. Doing so may result in oil carry-over to the air cleaner and equipment malfunction or damage. Do not allow oil level to fall below the "ADD" mark on dipstick. Doing so may result in equipment malfunction or damage. Contact your Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer for Tecumseh Oil Part Numbers. Table 2.
