Before Operation - Honda HRR216TDA Owner's Manual

SET-UP
Engine Oil
The lawn mower is shipped
WITHOUT OIL in the engine.
A bottle of oil is included in the box
with your mower. Add the entire
contents of the oil bottle into the oil
filler opening. Check that the oil
level is between the upper and
lower limit marks on the dipstick as
shown.
If the supplied oil is not used, add
enough SAE 10W-30 API service
category SJ or later oil. Add oil until
the oil level is between the upper
and lower limit marks.
Do not overfill engine oil. If the
engine is overfilled, the excess oil
may be transferred to the air
cleaner housing and air filter.
For additional engine oil
information, see page 33.
