Changing the Engine Oil

Change the engine oil after the first 5 operating hours;
change it yearly thereafter.
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
1. Perform the pre-maintenance procedures; refer to
Preparing for Maintenance.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 34).
Figure 34
3. Tip the mower onto its side, with the air filter up, to
drain the used oil out through the oil fill tube (Figure
35).
Figure 35
4. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill tube until the oil level
reaches the Full line on the dipstick (Figure 36). Do
not overfill. (Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30W
detergent oil with an API service classification of SF,
SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.)

5. Install the dipstick securely.

center.

a clean rag (Figure 37).

2. Install a grease gun onto each fitting and gently apply 2
or 3 pumps of #2 multi-purpose lithium-base grease.
