Installing the Filters
Important:
To prevent engine damage, always
operate the engine with both air filters and the
cover installed.
1. If you are installing new filters, check each filter
for shipping damage.
Note:
Do not use a damaged filter.
2. If you are replacing the inner filter, carefully slide
it into the filter body
3. Carefully slide the primary filter over the safety
filter (Figure 56).
Note:
Ensure that the primary filter is fully
seated by pushing on the outer rim while
installing it.
Important:
Do not press on the soft, inside
area of the filter.
4. Install the air-cleaner cover and secure the
latches (Figure 56).

Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Note:
Check the oil when the engine is cold.
Important:
If you overfill or underfill the engine
crankcase with oil and run the engine, you may
damage the engine.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
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.
Note:
Ensure that the engine is cool so that the
oil has had time to drain into the sump.
3. To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of the
engine, clean the area around the oil-fill cap and
dipstick before removing it
