Lubrication

Add a small amount of engine oil to lubricate parts and pivot points.

Refer to “Periodic Maintenance Schedule Table” for time intervals to lubricate parts.

How to Change the Engine Oil

1. Stop the engine and let it cool.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire from the spark plug.
3. Put the depth control lever in the starting position (See

Figure 7). This will slightly tilt the frame and engine

toward the rear.
4. Insert a flat pan under the edger, underneath the oil

drain plug and frame hole.
5. Remove oil dipstick. (See Figure 3)

6. Remove the oil drain bolt and washer.
7. Allow all oil to drain through the frame hole into the pan.

IMPORTANT:

Used oil is a hazardous waste. Place oil in a

sealed container and take to your local recycling center.

Do NOT discard with household waste.

8. Replace and tighten the oil drain plug and washer.
9. To re-fill engine with oil, see engine preparation section

“How to Check Oil and Fill to Proper Level.”
