CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in
the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before each
use:
1. Stop the engine and allow oil to drain into the crankcase.
2. Place the engine on
a flat, level surface
with the cutting
head shield hanging
off a work bench or
table to get a proper
oil level reading (Fig.
31).
3. Keep dirt, grass clippings and other debris out of the engine.
Clean the area around the dipstick
before removing it.
4. Remove the oil fill plug.
5. Look into the oil fill hole, use a
flashlight if needed. The oil should be
just touching the inner most thread
(Fig. 32).
6. If the oil level is not touching the inner
most thread on the oil fill hole, add a
small amount of oil
to the oil fill hole and
recheck (Fig. 32).
Repeat this
procedure until the
oil level reaches the
inner most thread on
the oil fill hole.
NOTE: Do not overfill
the unit.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug when
checking and changing the oil (Fig. 33).

CHANGING THE OIL

For a new engine, change the oil after the first 10 hours of
operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will

2. Remove the oil fill plug.
3. Pour the oil out of
the oil fill hole and
into a container by
tipping the unit to a
vertical position (Fig.
34). Allow ample
time for complete
drainage.
4. Wipe up any oil
residue on the unit and clean up any oil that may have spilled.
Dispose of the oil according to Federal, State and local regulations.
