Add Engine Oil
The mower is shipped WITHOUT
OIL in the engine.
All Honda engines are run at the
factory prior to packaging. Most of
the oil is removed prior to
shipment; however, some oil
remains in the engine. The
amount of oil left in the engine
varies.
Add enough SAE 10W-30 API
service category SJ or later oil (or
equivalent) to bring the oil level
between the upper and lower limit
marks on the dipstick as shown.
Do not overfill the engine with
oil. If the engine is overfilled, the
excess oil may get transferred to
the air cleaner housing and air
filter.
After filling the engine with oil,
remove the hang tag near the
recoil starter grip that says "The
engine has no oil."
