Engine
Refer to the Briggs & Stratton Operator/Owner
Manual for engine maintenance instructions.
Check engine oil level before each use as instructed in
the Briggs & Stratton Operator/Owner Manual packed
with your unit. Follow the instructions carefully.
Changing Engine Oil
NOTE: Depending on the engine model found on your
tractor, it may be necessary to remove the tractor’s side
panel in order to replace the oil filter (if so equipped).
• Unscrew oil fill cap and remove dipstick from the oil
fill tube. See Figure 13.
• Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil
drain valve to expose the drain port. See Figure 13.
• Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual)
onto the oil drain port. Route the opposite end of
the hose into an appropriate oil collection container
with a capacity great enough to collect the used oil
(approximately 64 oz.).
• Push the oil drain valve in slightly, then rotate
counterclockwise and pull outward to begin
draining oil. See Figure 13.

• Service the oil filter (if so equipped) as instructed
in the separate Briggs & Stratton Operator/Owner
Manual packed with your unit.
Perform the above steps in the opposite order after oil
has finished draining.
• Refill the engine with new motor oil.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the Briggs & Stratton Operator/
Owner Manual packed with your unit for information
