3. Install the cover.

Changing the Engine Oil

Change the engine oil after the first 5 operating hours;
change it yearly thereafter.
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants. Refer to Preparing for Maintenance.
1. Remove the dipstick (Figure 39).
Figure 39
2. Tip the mower onto its side (with the air filter up) to
drain the used oil out through the oil fill tube (Figure
40).
Figure 40
3. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill tube until the oil level
reaches the Full line on the dipstick (Figure 39). Do
not overfill. (Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30W
detergent oil with an API service classification of SF,
SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.)
4. Install the dipstick securely.
5. Dispose of the used oil properly at a local recycling
center.
