When the lawn mower with model designation M48 is tilted, the spark plug should always be positioned as the highest point.
When the lawn mower with model designation M53 S is tilted, the air filter should always be positioned as the highest point.
The oil can be drained from the underside by loosening the oil plug. Do not forget to refit the oil plug before filling with oil again.
Ask where you can dispose of surplus engine oil at your local petrol station.
•Fill with new engine oil of a good quality. See the Technical data section.
•Check the oil level with the dipstick on the oil filler cap.
•The oil filler cap must be completely screwed down to give a correct picture of the oil level.
If the oil level is low, fill using engine oil up to the upper level on the dipstick.
