Addendum
Important:
This addendum replaces the “Servicing
the Engine Oil” section found in the Maintenance
chapter of the
Operator’s Manual
.
Servicing the Engine Oil
Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SG, SH, SJ, or
higher)
Crankcase Capacity: 1.7 qt (1.6 l) when the filter is
changed
Viscosity: See the table below.
Figure 1
10W-30: 0 to 100 degrees F (-18 to 38 degrees C) is
better for varying temperature conditions. This viscosity
improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil
consumption above 80 degrees F (27 degrees C).
5W-20, 5W-30: Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or
5W-30 rating is acceptable, up to 40 degrees F (4 degrees
C). Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme
cold below -10 degrees F (23 degrees C).
Note:
Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications
may be used with oil changes performed at the
recommended intervals. However to allow piston rings
to properly seat, a new or rebuilt engine should be
operated for at least 50 hours using standard petroleum
based oil before switching to synthetic oil.
Checking the Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
blade control switch, stop the engine, engage parking
brake, and remove the key.
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. Pull and remove the oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil
off. Reinsert the dipstick and push firmly into place
(Figure 2).

2. Filler tube
5. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
The oil level should be up to, but not over, the “F”
mark on the dipstick.
6. If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to
the “F” mark on the dipstick. Always check the level
with the dipstick before adding more oil.
Note:
To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,
always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase.
