Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily

Initially, fill the crankcase with 30 ounces (0.88 liters) of oil. Use only high-quality SAE 30 or SAE 10W30 weight detergent oil that has the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification SF, SG, SH, or SJ.

Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the Add and Full marks on the dipstick (Figure 10).

Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of the crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then follow the procedure in this section.

1.Move the lawn mower to a level surface.

2.Clean around the dipstick (Figure 10).

3.Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap counterclockwise and pulling it out.

4.Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.

5.Insert the dipstick into the filler neck, but do not screw it in.

6.Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the dipstick (Figure 10).

7.If the oil level reading is below the Add mark on the dipstick, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler hole to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick.

Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil and run the engine; engine damage will result. Drain the excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick reads Full.

8.Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the cap clockwise until it is tight.
