MAINTENANCE ENGINE Read the maintenance section of your engine manual. LUBRICATION Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and every 25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the lawn mower is not used for 25 hours in one year. Refer to engine manual. NOTE (B&S W26 engines with Synthetic oil ONLY): An oil change is not required but if you desire to change the oil follow the procedure below. IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (KOHLER or B&S PRO / ENDURANCE ENGINES ONLY) The fuel filter should be replaced once each season. If fuel filter becomes clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor, replacement is required. 1. With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sections. 2. Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow pointing towards carburetor. 3. Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are properly positioned. 4. Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline. TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (SEE ENGINE MANUAL) Clamp Clamp • Be sure lawn mower is on level surface. • Oil will drain more freely when warm. • Catch oil in a suitable container. • For engines without dipstick, remove bottom oil drain plug. • For engines with oil fill cap/dipstick, remove bottom drain plug or remove engine oil cap and turn lawn mower on its side. NOTE: Before tipping lawn mower to drain oil, empty fuel tank by running engine until fuel tank is empty. • After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug and tighten securely. • Refill engine with oil. Pour slowly. Do not overfill. • Fill to top of slot inside of filler hole or to "FULL" line on dipstick on models so equipped. Keep oil at proper level.
