To adjust the anti-scalp rollers
The anti-scalp rollers keep the cutting deck in the
correct position on the ground and prevent lawn
scalping in most terrain conditions. The anti-scalp
rollers are adjusted correctly when they are slightly
off the ground when the cutting deck is at the
necessary cutting height.
1. Park the product on a level surface and stop the
engine.

To lubricate the engine
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SJ-SN. The oil's SAE viscosity
grade refers to the correct temperature for operation.

Note:
Multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, and so
on) help the engine start easily in cold weather but
causes increased oil use when used in temperatures
above 32°F/0°C. Do a check of your engine oil
level frequently to prevent possible engine damage
caused by low oil level.
•
Change the oil after intervals of 50 hours of
operation. If the product is not used for 50 hours
in a year, change the oil at a minimum of 1 time a
year.
•
Do a check of the crankcase oil level before you
start the engine and after each eight (8) hours of
operation.
•
Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick each time you do a
check of the oil level.
To do a check of the engine oil level
The engine in the product is filled with engine oil for
ambient temperatures of more than 32° F (0° C). For
operation in ambient temperatures of less than 32° F
(0° C), use the correct engine oil to make the product
easier to start. Refer to
1. Park the product in level ground.
2. Remove the oil fill cap and dipstick and clean it
with a cloth.
3. Put the dipstick into the oil fill tube. Do not turn
the oil fill cap onto the oil fill tube.
4. Remove the dipstick. Use the gauge on the
dipstick to examine the engine oil level. If
necessary, fill engine oil until the mark "FULL"
on the dipstick is reached. Do not fill too much
engine oil.
