ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil Change
Drain the oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Turn the fuel valve OFF. This will reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage (page 5).
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, and then remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
3. Place a suitable container
next to the mower to catch
the used oil, and then tilt
the mower on its right side.
The used oil will drain
through the filler neck.
Allow the oil to drain
completely.
Please dispose of used
motor oil and the
containers in a manner
that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your
local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not
throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or pour it down a drain.
4. Fill with the recommended oil
(page 6). Do not overfill.
Measure the oil level as
shown.
5. After changing the engine oil
and before starting the
engine, check the oil level
with the mower on a level
surface:
a. Remove the filler
cap/dipstick [1].
b. Wipe the dipstick
clean.
c. Insert and remove the
dipstick without
screwing it into the
filler neck. Check the
oil level shown on the
dipstick.
d. If the oil level is below
the low level mark [3],
add oil to reach the
high limit mark [2] on
the dipstick. Do not
overfill. If the engine is
overfilled, the excess
oil may get transferred
to the air cleaner housing and air cleaner filter.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
e. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
