Engine Maintenance
- Check Engine Oil Level
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower.
z Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick clean.
z Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
z Check the oil level shown on the dipstick. If near the lower, fill to the upper level with the oil. Do not
overfill.
z Screw in the filler cap securely.
NOTICE: Running the engine with a low oil level will cause engine damage.
- Change Engine Oil
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
z Wipe the oil filler area clean, and then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
z Place a suitable container next to the mower to catch the used oil, 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.
z Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill. Allow a couple of minutes for the oil to settle in the
engine, then measure the oil level.
