Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade control switch, stop the engine, engage
parking brake, and remove the key.

Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool
so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.

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.
