Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Refer to Figure 5-17 on page 40:
See "ZXT Pro (Engine Specifications)" on page 49 for oil
type and engine capacity.
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of
operation. Crankcase dipstick and engine oil fill tube are
located at the rear of the machine. Mower must be sitting
level when checking oil. Refer to engine manual and
maintenance schedule for oil recommendation and

capacities.
Change engine oil and oil filter after the first 5 hours of
operation and per engine manufacturer's
recommendations thereafter. It is recommended that oil
23803
be changed more frequently if the mower is operated in
extremely dirty conditions.
The oil fill cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and oil filter are
located on the right hand side for Honda and Kawasaki
engines. Oil fill cap/dip stick and oil drain plug are located
on the left hand side for the Briggs & Stratton engine and
the oil filter is on the right hand side.
Drain oil into a drip pan by unscrewing the oil drain plug
until oil flows freely. Do not remove drain plug. Drain plug
will offer resistance once it is fully unscrewed.
IMPORTANT: Make certain engine is level and you
are inserting the dipstick correctly when checking
oil. An oil overfill can cause engine problems.
