Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in the engine. For
type and grade of oil to use, see “EN GINE” in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT overfill engine with
oil, or it will smoke on startup.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level.
2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
3. Engine holds 20 ounces of oil. For type and grade of
oil to use, see “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section
of this manual.
4. Pour oil slowly. Do not overfill. Wait one minute to
allow oil to settle. Insert and tighten dipstick, then
remove it to check oil level.
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
