POTENTIAL HAZARD

Disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any maintenance. Set the wire aside
so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Before you use the lawn mower, make sure that the oil
level between the Add and the Full marks as shown on the
dipstick (Fig. 8). If the oil level is below the Add mark,
add oil. Refer to Filling the Crankcase with Oil on
page 10.
Changing the Engine Oil
Change the oil after the first five operating hours and then
after every 50 operating hours or every season. Run the
engine just before changing the oil to warm the oil. Warm
oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
Note: Change the oil after every 25 operating hours when
operating under heavy load or in high temperatures.
Draining the Oil above the Lawn Mower
Deck
1. Remove the grass bag.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Fig. 11).
3. Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank; refer to steps 1
through 4 of Emptying the Fuel Tank on page 24.
4. Remove the dipstick from oil fill tube and place a
drain pan next to the left side of the lawn mower.
