Changing the motor oil
Before changing the oil, allow the engine to run for a while to heat up the oil. Warm oil is easier to drain and also
binds more impurities to itself.
1. See chapter Preparing for maintenance.
2. Take out the oil dipstick (fi gure 16).
3. Tilt the lawnmower to the right side and drain the used oil through the fi lling tube (fi gure 17).
4. Slowly pour oil into the fi lling tube until the oil level reaches the "Full" (full) mark on the oil dipstick (fi gure 18).
Do not overfi ll the tank.
5. Put the oil dipstick back into place.
6. Take the used oil to your local waste collection facility.

replace it immediately. If the blade is blunt or damaged, have it sharpened or replace it.
