1. Dipstick
2. Upper limit mark
Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour
about 3/4 of the crankcase capacity of oil in
the crankcase, then follow the procedure in this
section.
1. Move the mower to a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 6).
3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise and pulling it out.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck (but do
not rotate the cap clockwise to secure it),
then remove it.
6. Read the oil level on the dipstick (Figure 6).
7. If the oil level reading is below the lower limit
mark on the dipstick, remove the dipstick and
slowly pour only enough oil into the filler hole
to raise the oil level to the upper limit mark on
the dipstick (Figure 6).
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil and run the engine; engine damage
will result. Drain the excess oil until the oil
level reaches the upper limit mark on the
dipstick.
8. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and
rotate the cap clockwise until it is tight.
3. Lower limit mark
