LUBRICATION
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 park 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 left rear of the
engine near the bypass linkage. 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.
9. Refer to the Service Journal for oil checking
and changing intervals and change
recommendations.

Grease from well-known brand names
(petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains
a good quality.

set of wheel bearings.
Front Wheel Bearings

Deck Spindles
Lower the cutting deck completely. Lubricate with
a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per spindle through the
openings in the belt shields.
If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the
foot plate must be removed to access the center
spindle.
