Assembly
Adding Oil
1. Place the lawn mower on a flat level surface
and unscrew the dipstick.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the
dipstick clean.
3. Refit the dipstick without screwing it down.
4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
It should be up to the upper mark on the
dipstick. DO NOT overfill. The oil level should
not be above the upper mark on the dipstick.
5. If the oil level is too low, add SAE 30 engine
oil part number '600MLSAE30OIL' or 15W40
engine oil, to the upper mark on the dipstick
(as shown above).
6. Once the correct amount of oil has been
added, refit the dipstick securely.
If you do overfill, you can remove some oil by
gently tiling the machine on its side and
pouring the excess oil into a suitable
container or use an oil syringe.
NOTE - All machines are pre delivery
inspected so there may be some residual oil
left in the machine so please fill with caution.
