Checking the Engine Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Important:
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
and run the engine; engine damage may result.
1. Park machine on level ground, move the motion
control levers out to engage the parking brake,
disengage the blade control switch, stop engine,
and remove key. Wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operator’s position.
2. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool
so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.
3. To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of
the engine, clean the area around the oil fill
cap/dipstick before removing it.
4. Check the engine oil level.
