Engine Oil Change
Drain the oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.

3. Place a suitable container
page 6
next to the mower to catch
page 7
the used oil, and then tilt the
page 8
mower on its right side. The
page 16
used oil will drain through the
filler neck. Allow the oil to
page 13
drain completely.
page 15
Please dispose of used motor
oil and the containers in a
page 14
manner that is compatible
page 15
with the environment. We
page 13
suggest you take it in a
page 14
sealed container to your local
page 15
recycling center or service
station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the
ground or pour it down a drain.

b. Wipe the dipstick clean.
c. Insert and remove the
dipstick without screwing it

the oil level shown on the

low level mark [3], add oil
to reach the high limit mark
[2] on the dipstick. Do not
overfill. If the engine is
overfilled, the excess oil
may get transferred to the
air cleaner housing and air
cleaner filter.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a
low oil level can cause
engine damage.
