Check oil level every time you fill gas tank. Change
oil after the first 2 hours of operation; thereafter, unĆ
der normal conditions, change oil after every 25
hours of engine operation. However, change oil more
frequently when engine is operated in dusty or
sandy conditions. If possible, run engine just before
changing oil because warm oil flows better and carĆ
ries more contaminants than cold oil.
Position rider on a level surface so oil drains
completely and a true reading results when crankĆ
case is refilled.
Stop engine and pull wire off spark plug (Fig. 9).
Move blade control into DISENGAGE detent and
set height-of-cut in lowest position.
