SERVICING YOUR LAWN MOWER
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1. Put the throttle lever in the STOP position.
2. Turn the fuel valve OFF (page 10). This will reduce the possibility
of fuel leakage.
3. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
4. 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 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
down a drain.
5. Fill with the recommended
oil. Do not overfill. Allow a
couple of minutes for the oil
to settle in the engine, then
measure the oil level as
shown on page 35.
NOTICE
Using nondetergent oil can
shorten the engine's service life, and using 2-stroke oil can
damage the engine.
