Checking the Engine Oil Level

1. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and fully install the

dipstick (Figure 14).

Figure 14

2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 14).

If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick,

slowly

pour oil into the oil fill tube to raise the oil level

to the Full mark on the dipstick.

Do not overfill.

(Max.

fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30W detergent oil with
an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or
higher.)

3. Install the dipstick.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.

Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.

Do not put your fingers under the housing when
adjusting the cutting height.

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be
hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the
hot muffler.

Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels to
the same height.

Note:

To raise the mower, move all 4 cutting height levers

forward; to lower the mower, move them all rearward
(Figure 15).

Figure 15

Adjusting the Handle Height

You may raise or lower the handle to a position comfortable
for you.

1. Remove the lower handle knobs that attach the handle

brackets to the lower handle ends (Figure 16).

Figure 16

2. Insert the bolt through the hole in each of the handle

brackets that sets the handle to the desired position
(Figure 17).

Figure 17

1. Highest position

3. Lowest position

2. Middle position (either

hole)

3. Install the lower handle knobs and tighten the knobs as

tight as you can by hand (Figure 18).
