Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 5 hours
Yearly
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
1. Perform the pre-maintenance procedures; refer to
Preparing for Maintenance.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 45).
3. Tip the mower onto its side, with the air filter up,
to drain the used oil out through the oil fill tube
(Figure 46).
4. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill tube until the oil level
reaches the Full line on the dipstick (Figure 47).
Do not overfill. (Max. fill: 0.59 l, type: SAE 30
detergent oil)
