damage the engine.

the blade-control switch (PTO), and engage the
parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.

Ensure that the engine is cool so that the
oil has had time to drain into the sump.

engine, clean the area around the oil-fill cap and
