to free
drive
wheels.
If necessary
to clean the drive wheels,
be
sure to clean
both front wheels.

NEXT OIL CHANGE
NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils
(5W30,
10W30 etc.) improve
starting in
cold weather,
these multi-viscosity
oils
will result
in increased
oil consumption
when used above
32°F. Check your
engine
oil level more frequently
to avoid
possible
engine
damage
from running
low on oil.
Change
the oil after every 25 hours of
operation
or at least once a year if the
lawn mower
is not used for 25 hours in
one year.
Check
the crankcase
oil level before
start-
ing the engine and after each five (5) hours
of continuous
use. Tighten oil plug securely
each
time
you
check
the
oil
level.

plug and place wire where it cannot
come in contact with spark plug.
2. Remove engine oil cap; lay aside on a
clean surface.
3. Tip lawn mower on its side as shown and
drain oil into a suitable container. Rock
lawn mower back and forth to remove
any
