MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
Engine Maintenance Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the
engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container
next to the mower to catch the
used oil.
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
3. With the throttle lever in the STOP position to reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage, tilt the mower on its right side. The
used oil will drain through the filler neck. Allow the oil to drain
completely.
Please dispose of used
engine oil in a manner that
doesn’t harm the environment.
Do not throw it in the trash or
pour it on the ground or down
the drain.
4. Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill; measure the oil
level as shown on page 47.
