6.2 Replacement of engine oil and filter
-
Clean thoroughly the area around oil filter and filling neck
-
Suck out the oil from the crankcase through the filling neck (or discharge the oil with a discharge screw
when the mower is tilted) CAUTION! The oil must not get under the engine in the clutch space – the belts
might slip.
-
Remove and replace oil filter (put some oil on the filter sealing during assembly)
- Fill up engine oil, approximately 0,5 l (0,7l– when exchanging oil filter)
-
Check the oil level with the dipstick (up to the upper gauge line to increase slope accessibility)
-
Recommended engine oil:
SAE 30
The manufacturer recommends the following oil brands:
-
Per API classification: SF, SG, SH, SJ
-
Per viscosity, see table above
-
Oil consumption increases in case of multistage kind of oil (5W-20, 10W-30, 10W-40). In such a case,
check the oil level more frequently.
