Engine oil

NOTE: Change the engine oil when the engine
is warm. Refer to the engine owner's manual
for the correct replacement oil and filter change
recommendations.
WARNING! The engine drain plug is
located close to the muffler. To prevent burns,
the engine should be shut off and allowed to
cool slightly so the engine is still warm but the
surrounding surfaces and oil are not.
1. Park on a level surface. Apply parking brake.
2. Clean the dirt and debris from the area
around the oil fill cap.
3. Remove the cap/dipstick.
4. Locate the drain hose at the right rear of
the engine below the muffler. Place an
adequately sized container under the end of
the drain hose and remove the oil drain plug.
5. Allow the oil to fully drain from the engine.
6. Replace the drain hose plug and tighten
securely.
7. Fill the engine with new oil to the bottom of
the fill tube threads. Check the level with the
dipstick.
8. Replace the oil fill cap securely when the oil
level is FULL.

and changing intervals.

Wheel and Deck Zerks

Use only good quality bearing grease.
Grease from well-known brand names
(petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains
a good quality.
Front Wheel Mount
Remove dust cap to expose zerk. Lubricate with
a grease gun until the grease is forced out around
the top washer.
Front Wheel Bearings
Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each
set of wheel bearings.
Deck Spindles
Lower the cutting deck completely.
If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the
foot plate must be removed to access the center
spindle.
Lubricate with a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per
spindle.
Drain old oil filters of all free-flowing oil prior
to disposal. Place used oil in appropriate
containers and dispose of it in accordance with
laws in your area.
