ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil Change
Drain the oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Put the throttle lever in the STOP position and turn the fuel valve
OFF. This will reduce the possibility of fuel leakage (page 4).
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, and then remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
3. Place a suitable container
next to the mower to catch
the used oil, and 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 of 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 pour it down a drain.
4. Fill with the recommended oil
(page 6).
Refill amount: 0.35 ~ 0.40 l
Do not overfill. Measure the oil
level as shown.
5. After changing the engine oil and
before starting the engine, check
the oil level with the mower on a
level surface:
a. Remove the filler
cap/dipstick [1].
b. Wipe the dipstick clean.
c. Insert and remove the dipstick
without screwing it into the
filler neck. Check the oil level
shown on the dipstick.
d. If the oil level is below the low
level mark [3], add oil to reach
the high limit mark [2] on the
dipstick. Do not overfill. If the
engine is overfilled, the
excess oil may get transferred
to the air cleaner housing and
air cleaner filter.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
e. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
