Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
Yearly
Change the engine oil after the first 2 operating
hours; change it yearly thereafter.
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.

Preparing for Maintenance.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 37).
3. Tip the mower onto its side, with the air filter up,
to drain the used oil out through the oil fill tube
(Figure 38).
4. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill tube until the oil level
reaches the Full line on the dipstick (Figure 39).
Do not overfill. (Max. fill: 20 oz., type: SAE 30W
detergent oil with an API service classification of SF,
SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.)
