L U B R I C AT I O N Engine oil change NOTE: Change the engine oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the engine owner's manual for the correct replacement oil and filter change recommendations. Wheel and Deck Zerks Use only good quality bearing grease. Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. Front Wheel Mount Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel mounts. WARNING! The engine drain plug is near to the muffler. To prevent burns, the engine should be shut off and allowed to cool slightly so the engine is still warm but the adjacent surfaces and oil are not. Front Wheel Bearings Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel bearings. 1. Park on a level surface. Engage park brake. 2. Clean the dirt and debris from the area around the oil fill cap. 3. Remove the cap/dipstick. 4. Find the drain hose at the right rear of the engine. Place a sufficiently sized container under the end of the drain hose and remove the oil drain plug. Deck Spindles Lower the cutting deck completely. If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the foot plate must be removed to access the center spindle. Lubricate with a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per spindle. 5. Let the used oil fully drain from the engine. 6. Replace and tighten the drain hose plug. 7. Fill the engine with new oil to the bottom of the fill tube threads. Check the level with the dipstick. 8. Replace and tighten the oil fill cap when the oil level is FULL. 9. To discard the used oil, refer to local disposal regulations. 10. Refer to the Service Journal for oil checking and changing intervals and change recommendations. 29
