oil will cause engine troubles.
･ The first replacement should be done after the initial
50 hours of operation and then after every 100 hours
of operation. When replacing engine oil, place the
lawn mower on level, hard ground. The engine oil
drain is located bottom of the engine oil pan, which is
accessible from the right side of the lawn mower.

drained oil.
b. The engine should be warmed up for 10 minutes or so
ahead of time to heat the oil to lower its viscosity for
compete drainage.
