5. Read the oil level on the dipstick (Figure 13).
1. The oil level is too low;
add oil to the crankcase.
2. The oil level is too high;
remove oil from the
crankcase.
•
If the oil level 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 is
correct as shown in Figure 13.
•
If the oil level is too high, drain the excess
oil until you obtain the correct oil level on
the dipstick. To drain the excess oil, refer to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 16).
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.
Adjust the cutting height as desired; refer to Figure 14 and
Figure 15.
Note: To raise the machine, move the front and rear cutting
height levers forward; to lower the machine, move the cutting
height levers rearward. Set the front and rear wheels to the
same height unless special circumstances require otherwise;
refer to Operating Tips (page 14).
