Change the oil after the first month or 5 hours of use. Thereafter, 
change the oil every 6 months or 50 hours of use. Change the oil 
more frequently when used under heavy load or high outdoor 
temperatures. See “Engine Oil Recommendations” on this page for 
recommended oil properties.

To reduce the chance of scratching the side of the mower deck or 
wheels when tipping, place a piece of cardboard or drop cloth on the 
ground. The use of a commercially available siphon pump will save 
time and make the oil change easier.

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly 
and completely.

1. Turn the fuel valve OFF (

). This will reduce the possibility 

of fuel leakage.

2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, and then remove the oil filler 

cap/dipstick.

3. Place a suitable 

container next to the 
mower to catch the used 
oil, and then tilt the 
mower on its right side.

The used oil will drain 
through the filler neck. 
Allow the oil to drain 
completely.

After draining, take the 
oil to your local recycling 
center or service station. 
Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down 
a drain.

4. Fill with the recommended oil. 

Do not overfill. Allow a couple 
of minutes for the oil to settle in 
the engine, and then measure 
the oil level (

Refill amount: 
12.0 ~ 13.5 oz. 
(0.35 ~ 0.40 L)

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Always 
change the oil in accordance with the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 
(

Recommended oil for general use: SAE 10W-30 

Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average 
temperature in your area is within the recommended range. 

The SAE oil viscosity and service category are in the API label on the 
oil container. Honda recommends API service category SJ or later oil.

Clean the air filter after the first 25 hours of use. Thereafter, clean the 
filter every 6 months or 50 hours of use. Clean the filter more often 
when used in dusty areas. Replace the filter every 2 years or 150 
hours of use.

A properly maintained air filter will help prevent dirt from entering your 
engine. Dirt entering the carburetor can be drawn into small passages 
in the carburetor and cause premature engine wear. These small 
passages can become blocked, causing starting or running problems. 

Operating the engine without an air filter, with a damaged air filter, or 
with an improperly installed air filter cover will allow dirt to enter the 
engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not 
covered by the DISTRIBUTOR’S LIMITED WARRANTY (

We recommend the use of a Honda Genuine air filter to ensure it 
seals and performs as designed. Using a non-Honda air filter can 
result in dirt bypassing the filter, causing damage to the engine or fuel 
system.

1. Press down on the cover tabs and remove the cover.

2. Remove the filter from the air cleaner housing. 

3. Inspect the filter; replace if damaged. 

4. Clean the filter by tapping it several times on a hard surface to 

remove dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding 30 psi 
[207 kPa]) through the air filter from the inside. Never try to brush 
off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibers.

5. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner housing and cover 

using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air 
duct that leads to the carburetor.

6. Reinstall the filter and cover. Be sure both tabs are fully locked in 

place.
