Engine Oil And Filter
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of operation.
Machine must be setting level when checking oil. Refer to
engine manual and maintenance schedule for oil
recommendation and capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of
operation and per the engine manufacturer’s recommendations
after that. If mower is being operated in extremely dirty
conditions, then it is recommended oil be changed more
frequently. IMPORTANT: When removing the oil filter take
precautions to minimize oil spillage on the exhaust system.
Draining the engine oil:
1. Locate the oil drain valve on the engine. Figure 4-5,
2. Position a suitable oil drain container under the machine
below the oil drain valve.
3. Twist the valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
Allow 10 minutes for engine oil to adequately drain.
4. After oil is drained, close the valve by twisting it
clockwise.
5. Once the valve is closed, clean up any spilled oil.
IMPORTANT: All oil drips or spills must be cleaned off
of the exhaust system before operating the machine.
Engine Air Filter
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the Maintenance
Schedule shown elsewhere in this manual.
General Engine Maintenance
Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in and
regular maintenance are specified in the Engine Owner’s
Manual. Please refer to this manual for engine servicing,
lubricating oil levels with quality and viscosity
recommendations, bolt torques, etc. The engine warranty is

incorporated into the fuel system. Figure 4-6
This is a mandatory feature that is required on all mowers
using gasoline engines that are put into operation in California.
These canisters should be replaced every 5 years or if they
become damaged.
