Checking the engine oil level and filling with engine oil.
CAUTION!
The following procedures and adjustments must be performed before
the engine is started. Do not attempt to make any of these adjustments while the
engine is running.
CAUTION!
To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or petrol.
The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the
engine.
NOTE!
Running the engine with a low oil level will cause engine damage. It is
recommend that, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil to be used. Using non-engine
oil can shorten the engine’s service life and using 2-stroke oil will damage the
engine.
CAUTION!
Always use high quality engine oil (classified SAE30 oil or equivalent e.g
SAE 10W/30, often termed as 4 Stroke lawnmower oil). Never use additives with
recommended oil. To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is
changed after the first 5 hours of use.
NOTE!
To check the engine oil level, stop engine and place the mower on a level
surface.
1. Remove the oil filler dipstick and wipe oil from it with a clean cloth.
2. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck and tighten the cap.
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level must be between the min.
and max. marks on the dipstick. If near the lower level, fill to upper lever with the
recommended oil. Do not overfill. Wipe away any spilt oil. (Fig. I)
4. Align the ribs of the cap with the groove of the filler neck. Then rotate 1/4 turn to secure
it.
