Before Starting
Filling the Crankcase with Oil
Initially, fill the crankcase with 19 ounces (0.55 liters) of
oil. Use only high-quality SAE 30 or SAE 10W30 weight
detergent oil that has the American Petroleum Institute
(API) service classification SF, SG, SH, or SJ.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the
Add and Full marks on the dipstick (Fig. 4).

three-fourths of the crankcase capacity of oil in the
crankcase, then follow the procedure in this section.
To add oil:
1. Move the lawn mower to a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick (Fig. 4).
3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise and pulling it out.
