Engine:
Clean the air cleaner:
Check engine oil level:
Refer to the manufacturers operator owner manual for engine maintenance information.
Remove and clean the air filter cartridge at three monthly intervals or every 25 hours of normal
use. The air filter cartridge may require servicing more often under dusty operating conditions. To
service the air cleaner cartridge, follow the procedures detailed in the engine manual.
Note that if the engine is overfilled, it will smoke excessively or appear to be seized.
Periodically the oil level should be checked
to ensure it is correct. Engine oil also requires
changing after the initial first five hours of use,
and then every 50 hours of normal use and 25
hours of heavy use thereafter. With the mower
in a level position,
1. Remove the oil dipstick.
2. Wipe the dipstick clean replace and
remove.
3.
If the engine oil level is below the
minimum mark on the dipstick, top up
with the correct grade of engine oil to
the full mark on the dipstick. DO NOT
OVER FILL. Then screw the dipstick
securely back into place.
Running engines, fitted to
rotary lawnmowers, without sufficient oil can
cause the engine to seize.
