16. ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
Important:
• The engine oil should be replaced with fresh oil in
accordance with operation hours. If not, overly
used oil will cause engine troubles.
• The first replacement should be done after the ini-
tial 50 hours of operation and then after every
100 hours of operation.
When replacing engine oil, place the lawn mower
on level, hard ground.
The engine oil drain is located bottom of the
engine oil pan, which is accessible from the right
side of the lawn mower.
a. Place a tray or the like under the oil drain to
receive drained oil.
b. The engine should be warmed up for 10 minutes
or so ahead of time to heat the oil to lower its vis-
cosity for compete drainage.
(1) Oil pan (2) Drain plug
c. Remove the drain plug allowing the used oil drain
out completely.
d. When the used oil has drained out completely,
screw the drain plug back in securely.
e. Remove the oil filler cap from top of the cylinder
head and pour in fresh engine oil turough the oil
filler. Be sure to use oil recommended by ISEKI.
Refer to "ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION"

Engine oil capacity: 2.6 litres (0.57 imp.gal)
f. After engine oil replacement, start the engine and
let it idle for a while.
g. Then stop it and wait for a while until the engine
oil comes down into the oil pan. Now check the
oil level to check to see if it is at the upper limit or
not. When the level is low, replenish until the
level reaches the upper limit.
Important:
Never fill over the upper limit, or it may cause
engine trouble.
h. Make sure that there is no oil leakage through the
drain plug and oil filter.
17. ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT
Important:
• The engine oil filter should be replaced after the
initial 50 hours of operation and then after every
300 hours of operation.
• It is recommended to ask your dealer to replace
the engine oil f ilter, because this operation
requires a special tool. But when there is no alter-
native but to replace the f ilter by yourself,
observe following instructions.
a. Drain engine oil completely following the instruc-
tions of "16. ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT."
b. Place some rags under the engine oil f ilter to
receive dripping oil when the filter is replaced.
