upward.

Before Starting

Filling the Crankcase with Oil

Initially, fill the crankcase with 30 ounces (0.88 liters) of

oil. Use only high-quality SAE 30 or SAE 10W30 weight

detergent oil that has the American Petroleum Institute

(API) service classification SF, SG, SH, or SJ.

Oil Capacity

With Oil Filter 30 ounces (0.88 L)

Without Oil Filter 24 ounces (0.70 L)

Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the

Add and Full marks on the dipstick (Fig. 7).

3. Add

Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of the

crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then follow the

procedure in this section.

To add oil:

1. Move the lawn mower to a level surface.

2. Clean around the dipstick (Fig. 7).

3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap

counterclockwise and pulling it out.

4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.

5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck, then remove it.

Note: To ensure an accurate oil level reading, you must

fully install the dipstick.

6. Read the oil level on the dipstick (Fig. 7).

7. If the oil level reading is below the Add mark on the

dipstick, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler

hole to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the

dipstick.

Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil and

run the engine; engine damage will result. Drain the

excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick reads Full.

8. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the

cap clockwise until it is tight.
