ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1.
Turn the fuel valve to OFF to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage
(see page 21).
2.
Wipe the oil filler area clean,
then remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
3.
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 the 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 the trash, pour it
on the ground or down a drain.
4.
Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill; measure the oil level
as shown on page 34.
Engine oil capacity:
0.58 US qt. (0.55

using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
