General Information

Check Engine Oil

The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase. Howev-
er, oil level must be checked before and after the engine
is first started.
Crankcase holds about 4.0 qts. (3.8 l) with filter.
IMPORTANT: Check level of oil every 5 operating
hours or daily. Change oil after every 50 hours of op-
eration.
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Push
dipstick down into dipstick tube and make sure it is
seated fully. Pull dipstick out and check oil level. If oil lev-
el is low, add enough oil to raise level to the FULL mark
on the dipstick.
3. If oil level is low, remove oil fill cap and gradually add
small quantities of oil, checking level frequently, until the
oil level reaches the FULL mark on the dipstick.
4. The engine uses any high−quality 10W30 detergent
oil having the American Petroleum Institute − API − "ser-
vice classification" CD, CE, CF CF−4 or CG−4.
5. Install oil fill cap and close hood.
