9. MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
Engine oil capacity: 0.69 MS qt (0.65 h’)
Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining.
1. Place a suitable container under the cutter deck to catch the used oil.
NOTE: Check to be sure the drain hole in the cutter deck is not clogged.
If necessary, remove grass and debris from the cutter deck.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and the oil drain bolt, using a 10 mm box or socket
wrench. The used oil will flow along the cutter deck channel to the drain
hole under the muffler.
NOTE:
l
An alternative procedure is to tilt the mower on its side, so the used oil will
drain out through the oil filler neck. For this procedure, do not remove the
oil drain bolt. Be sure to turn the fuel valve OFF before tilting the mower.
l
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that doesn’t harm the
environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service
station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground
or down a drain.
