Install Discharge Tunnel Plug
1. Open the discharge door by pulling forward on the
handle and moving it rearwards (Fig. 2). Hold the
discharge door handle to prevent the spring–loaded
door from closing while inserting the plug.

2. Since the plug is slightly wider than the discharge
tunnel opening, rotate the plug clockwise slightly
while inserting it (Fig. 2). Make sure the arrow on the
plug decal is pointing upwards.
3. Push the plug all the way in until the spring clip on the
bottom of the plug clicks into place, locking the plug
securely into the discharge tunnel (Fig. 3). Release
discharge door handle to lock top of plug.

Before Starting
Oil
Initially, the crankcase must be filled with .6 quarts
(0.55 liters) of SAE 30 oil; 10W-30 oil may be substituted
if SAE 30 is not available. Use any high quality detergent
oil having the American Petroleum Institute (API)
"service classification"—SF, SG, SH or SJ.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the
FULL and ADD marks on the dipstick (Fig. 4). Add oil if
the level is low.
1. Position the mower on a level surface and clean
around the dipstick (Fig. 4).

2. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
3. Wipe the dipstick clean.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but do not screw
it in.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the level of the oil on
the side of the dipstick with the FULL and ADD marks
(Fig. 4).
6. If the level is low, add enough oil to raise the level to
the FULL mark on the dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Do not fill above the FULL mark
because the engine could be damaged when started.
Pour the oil slowly.
