BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADD OIL
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in 
the engine. For type and grade of oil to 
use, see “EN GINE” in the Maintenance 
section of this manual.
  CAUTION: DO NOT overfi ll engine with 
oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muffl er 
on startup.
1.   Be sure lawnmower is level.  
2.   Remove oil dipstick from oil fi ll spout.
3.   You receive a container of oil with the 
unit.  Slowly pour the entire container 
down the oil fi ll spout into the engine.
NOTE: Initial oil fi ll requires only 18 oz. 
due to residual oil in engine from the 
manufacturers 100% quality testing. When 
changing oil you may need 20 oz.
4.   Insert and tighten dipstick.
IMPORTANT:
•   Check oil level before each use.  Add oil 
if needed.  Fill to full line on dipstick.
•   Change the oil after every 25 hours of 
operation or each season.  You may 
need to change the oil more often 
under dusty, dirty conditions.  See “TO

mower can result in foreign 
objects thrown into the

severe eye damage. Always 
wear safety glasses or eye shields while 
operating your lawn mower or performing 
any ad just ments or repairs. We recom-
mend standard safety glasses or a wide
