6.2 GRASS BAG CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT
Cleaning
Wash the bag with a garden hose, and allow it to dry completely before use; a wet bag will clog quickly.
Replacement
Unclip the plastic edges of the bag from the frame, remove the frame from the bag.
Insert the frame into the bag, clip the plastic edges of the bag onto the frame.
6.3 ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Check Engine Oil Level
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower.
Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick clean.
Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
Check the oil level shown on the dipstick. If near the lower, fill to the
upper level with the oil. Do not overfill.
Screw in the filler cap securely.
NOTICE
:
Running the engine with a low oil level will cause engine
damage.
Change Engine Oil
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
Place a suitable container next to the mower to catch the used oil, then tilt the mower on its right side.
The used oil will drain through the filler neck. Allow the oil to drain completely.
Please dispose of used motor oil and the containers in a manner that is compatible with the environment.
We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a drain.
Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill. Allow a couple of minutes for the oil to settle in the engine,
then measure the oil level.
6.4 AIR CLEANER SERVICE
NOTICE
:
Operating the engine without an air cleaner, or with a damaged air cleaner, will allow dirt to
enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
Press down on the cover tabs and remove the cover.
Remove the filter from the air cleaner base..
