Changing The Engine Oil; Replacing The Fuse - Toro 20793 Operator's Manual

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 on page 16.
1. Remove the
dipstick.
2. Tip the mower onto
its side (with the air filter
up) to drain the used oil
out through the oil fill
tube.
3. Slowly pour oil into
the oil fill tube until the
oil level reaches the Full
line on the dipstick. Do
not overfill. (Max. fill:
0.65 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.
