2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level
(Figure 13). If the oil level is below the Add mark on
the dipstick,
slowly

raise the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick.
Do not overfill.

30 detergent oil with an API service classification of
SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.)

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 14).

Adjusting the Handle Height
You may raise or lower the handle to a position
comfortable for you.
Rotate the handle lock, move the handle to one of three
positions, and lock the handle into position (Figure 15).
