ENGINE MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1.

3.
Put the throttle lever in the STOP position and turn the fuel valve
OFF. This will reduce the possibility of fuel leakage (see page 34).
Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
Place a suitable container next
to the mower to catch the used
oil, then 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 motor
oil and the containers in a
manner that is compatible with
the environment. We suggest
you take it in a sealed
container to your local recycling
center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in
the trash, pour it on the ground
or down a drain.
4. Fill with the recommended oil.
Do not overfill; measure the oil
level as shown on page 50.

Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life, and
using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
