Oil Change; Oil Level - Husqvarna LC221Ai Operator's Manual

Oil level

Before starting for the first time
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in the engine. You
receive a container of oil with the unit. Slowly pour the
entire container down the oil fill spout into the engine.
IMPORTANT! Do not overfill!
Check the engine's oil level
The lawn mower should stand on flat ground when you
check the oil level. Ensure the ignition lead has been
removed from the spark plug before you open the oil filler
cap.
1 Check the oil level with the dipstick on the oil filler cap.
2 Remove the oil cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
3 Put the dipstick back in. The oil filler cap must be
completely screwed down to give a correct picture of
the oil level.
4 If the oil level is low, fill using engine oil up to the upper
level on the dipstick.
CAUTION! Initial oil fill requires only 18 oz. due to
residual oil in engine from the manufacturers 100%
quality testing. When changing oil you may need 20 oz.
