6.2 REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL FILTER
- Clean thoroughly the area around oil filter and filling neck
- Suck out the oil from the crankcase through the filling neck (or discharge the oil with a discharge screw
when the mower is tilted) ATTENTION! The oil must not get under the engine in the clutch space – the
belts might slip.

- Check the oil level with the dipstick (up to the upper dipstick line to increase slope accessibility)
- Recommended engine oil: SAE 10W-40
The manufacturer recommends the following oil brands:
- Per API classification: SF, SG, SH, SJ
- Per viscosity, see table above
- Oil consumption increases in case of multistage kind of oil (5W-20, 10W-30, 10W-40). In such a case,
check the oil level more frequently.
