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 the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage (see page 10).
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.
Please dispose the 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 48.
Engine oil capacity: 0.65 lit.
NOTICE
Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine's service life, and using
2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
