3. Thread the right hand wheel shaft into the drive pulley
on the right side of the machine (Fig. 4).

4. Torque the shaft to 65 to 75 ft-lb. (88 to 101 N m)
Note: The right hand wheel shaft has left hand threads.
5. Apply Never–Seez to the exposed ends of the axles and
slide the wheel onto the axle (Fig. 5).
6. Pivot the wheel locking clip away from center of the

Before Operating

Adding Engine Oil

Fill the crankcase with approximately 20 oz. (0.6 l) of
proper viscosity oil before staring. The engine uses any
high-quality oil having the American Petroleum Institute —
APl—service classification SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, or SH. Oil
viscosity (weight) must be selected according to the
ambient temperature. Figure 6 illustrates the temperature/
viscosity recommendations.
–20 C –10 C 0 C
SAE 10W30/ SAE 10W–40

Note: Using multi grade oils (5W–20, 10W–30 and
10W–40) will increase oil consumption. Check the oil level
more frequently when using multi grade oils.
1. Position the mower so the engine is level (Fig. 7).
