Engine
Refer to the Kawasaki Owner's Manual for all engine maintenance
procedures and instructions.
NOTE: Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control
devices and systems which are being done at owner's expense may
be performed by any engine repair establishment or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by a Cub Cadet Dealer.
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING!
If the engine has been recently run, the
engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will
be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The
oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain hose/valve on the right side of the
engine.
