Your lawn mower is shipped without oil in the engine. For type and grade of oil to use, see
“8.4”.

on startup.
 Be sure lawn mower is level.
 Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
 Insert and tighten dipstick.
Important:
 Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.
 Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or each season. You may need to change
the oil more often under dusty, dirty conditions. See “To change engine oil” in the
maintenance section of this manual.

assure fuel freshness.
Caution: wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use fuel near

may occur.
