IMPORTANT: Drain fuel tank before tipping machine.

DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or spark plug down. Oil from crankcase wilt saturate the air filter and cause the

engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If contamination does occur, the air filter wilt have to be

replaced.

specifications, procedures and proper service intervals.

2.For simplest/cleanest oil change, loosen lower handle nuts and fold handles. Stand mower up on lower handle brackets as shown in Figure 3.1. Drain

oil through dipstick tube into a container. Allow sufficient time for all oil to drain. NOTE: Drive control

rod on self-propelled models prohibits handles from folding. Simply tip mower on its side to drain oil.
