Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily

oil filler neck, but do not screw it in (Figure 9).
2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 9).
If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick,
slowly pour oil into the oil-fill tube to raise the oil level
to the Full mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill. (Max.
fill: 22 oz. (0.65 l), type: 10W-30 or SAE 30 detergent
oil with an API service classification of SJ or higher.)
Note: If you overfill the engine, pour some oil out of
it as directed in Changing the Engine Oil.
3. Install the dipstick securely.

contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.

Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set the front wheels to
the same height as the rear wheels.
