To change the oil, first run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Place a drain pan under the oil drain valve, open the valve, and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the oil filter, if necessary, and close the drain valve. Refill with the recommended oil type and amount, then reconnect the spark plug wire.
First, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel shut-off valve is open. Verify that the battery is charged and the connections are clean. Examine the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if needed. Ensure the operator presence control is engaged. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.
Routine maintenance should be performed after every 25 hours of use or at least once a season. This includes checking the oil level, cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, and examining the blades and belts for wear. Refer to the user manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
