Oil Change Procedure
All models
Preparation for mowers with
oil bath air filters
.
Note:
This method of oil change should be done when the gas tank is low on fuel. If the fuel tank is full,
gas could leak around the gas cap.
1. Undo
wing nut
and remove oil bath filter reservoir, both top and bottom pieces.
Note:
2. Remove carefully, check for the
reservoir gasket
, which may stick to the bottom section of the oil
reservoir.
3. The GX series engine has two oil plugs, one in the front and one in the back, for draining oil from
the engine. However, the position of the engine on the frame does not offer easy access and can
cause the old oil to pour onto the mower, requiring extra clean-up time. It is easier to
remove the
oil-fill plug
. Tip the mower forward and pour oil into a can or plastic container.
