Servicing the Engine Oil
Service Interval : Before each use or daily
Every 100 hours (more often in dirty or dusty
conditions).
Every 200 hours —For Kawasaki
engines—change the engine-oil lter
(more often in dirty or dusty conditions).
Engine-Oil Specications
Oil T ype: Detergent oil (API service SF , SG, SH, SJ,
or SL)
Crankcase Capacity:
• Models 72932, 72936, 72949, 72949HD, and
72950—2.3 L (78  oz) with a lter change; 2.1 L
(71  oz) without a lter change
• Model 72952—2.1 L (71  oz) with a lter change;
1.8 L (61  oz) without a lter change
V iscosity: See the table below .

Figure 54
Note: Although 10W -40 engine oil is recommended
for most conditions, you may need to change oil
viscosity to accommodate atmospheric conditions.
Using 20W -50 engine oil in higher ambient
temperatures can reduce oil consumption.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Note: Check the oil when the engine is cold.
Important: If you overll or underll the engine
crankcase with oil and run the engine, you may
damage the engine.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch (PT O), and engage the
parking brake.
2. Shut of f the engine, remove the key , and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
Note: Ensure that the engine is cool so that the
oil has had time to drain into the sump.
3. T o keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of the
engine, clean the area around the oil-ll cap and
dipstick before removing it ( Figure 55 ).
