ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1. Turn the fuel valve to OFF to
reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage (see page 9).
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then
remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
3. 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.
NOTICE
Improper disposal of engine oil
can be harmful to the
environment. If you change your
own oil, please dispose of the
used oil properly. Put it in a
sealed container, and take it to a
recycling center. Do not discard it
in a trash bin or dump it on the
ground.
4. Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill; measure the oil level
as shown on page 35.
NOTICE
Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life, and
using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
5. Check the oil level as described in the next section.
