Dealer - Cub Cadet 221 LHP Operator's Manual

Engine
Refer to the Engine Operators manual packed separately with
your snow thrower for maintenance and adjustment information
on your engine.
1. To access the oil drain and spark plug it is necessary to
remove the lower panel.
2. Remove the three screws that secure the lower panel.
Remove the lower panel by lifting up on the panel to free
the tabs at the bottom of the panel from the tab slots and
then pull back. See Figure 6-3.
NOTE: The bottom of the panel has tabs that help hold it in
place.
NOTE: An oil drain extension kit is available separately.
Contact your local Cub Cadet dealer or contact Cub Cadet's
Customer Support for kit #753-06684.
3. Change the oil and/or the spark plug as instructed in your
Engine Operator's manual.
4. Re-install the lower panel by placing the tabs in the tab
slots, lifting the panel into place and secure with the three
screws removed in step 2.
5. Tip the snow thrower back to the operating position and pull
the starter handle a few times to see if it is difficult to pull.
6. If the starter is difficult to pull, remove the spark plug and
pull the handle several times to ensure that any oil trapped
in the head is removed.
CAUTION:
when it is removed and the starter handle is pulled.
7. Inspect the spark plug. If it is wet, clean off any oil before
re-installing.
