2. The oil level is too
high—remove oil from
the crankcase.

3. The oil level is too
low—add oil to the
crankcase.
•
If the oil level on the dipstick is too low, slowly
pour a small amount of oil into the oil-fill tube,
wait 3 minutes, and repeat steps 3 through 5 until
the oil level on the dipstick is at the correct level.
•
If the oil level on the dipstick is too high,
drain the excess oil until the oil level on
the dipstick is at the correct level. Refer to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 15).
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is too
low or too high and you run the engine, you may
damage the engine.
6. Install the dipstick securely.
Adjusting the Cutting Height
WARNING
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.
• Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
• Do not put your fingers under the housing when
adjusting the cutting height.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be
hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the
hot muffler.
Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set the front wheels to
the same height as the rear wheels (Figure 11).
Note: To raise the machine, move the front cutting height
levers rearward and the rear cutting height levers forward.
To lower the machine, move the front cutting height levers
forward and the rear cutting height levers rearward.
