3. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
4. Place a suitable container 
next to the mower to catch 
the used oil, then tilt the 
mower on its right side.
The used oil will drain 
through the filler neck. Allow 
the oil to drain completely.
Please dispose of used motor oil and the containers in a manner 
that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in 
a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station 
for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or 
down a drain.
5. Fill with the recommended 
oil. Do not overfill. Allow a 
couple of minutes for the oil 
to settle in the engine, then 
measure the oil level as 
shown on page 35.
NOTICE
Using nondetergent oil can 
shorten the engine’s service life, and using 2-stroke oil can 
damage the engine.
