SD mowers have a carbon cannis-
ter incorporated into the fuel system. Figure 4-8
This is a mandatory feature on all mowers using gasoline
engines that are put into operation in California.
This canister should be replaced every 5 years or if it
becomes damaged.
Engine Oil and Filter
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of operation.
Mower must be on a level surface when checking oil. Refer to
engine manual and maintenance schedule for oil recommen-
dation and capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of
operation and then per the engine manufacturer’s recommen-
dations after that. If mower is being operated in extremely
dirty conditions, then it is recommended oil be changed more
frequently.
IMPORTANT:
After the new oil filter has been installed,
clean up any oil which may have spilled onto the engine
plate, muffler, and heat shield.
Draining the engine oil:
1.
Locate the oil drain valve on the lower right side of the
engine.
2.
Locate the oil drain hose that was supplied with the
machine. Be sure to clean and clear it of debris that
might block the flow of the engine oil. Figure 4-9 &
Figure 4-10
3.
Attach one end of the hose onto the oil drain valve nip-
ple. Make sure the hose is pushed all the way onto the
valve. Figure 4-9 & Figure 4-10

If the engine has been running and is up to operating
temperature, allow the engine to cool before chang-
ing the oil. Engine and engine oil will be very hot, so
be very careful when changing oil and wear the
appropriate protective gear to avoid being burned or
exposed to engine oil.
