SET-UP

Engine Oil

The mower is shipped

WITHOUT OIL in the engine.

A bottle of oil is included in the

box with your mower. Add the

entire contents of the oil bottle

into the oil filler opening.

All Honda engines are run at the

factory prior to packaging. Most

of the oil is removed prior to

shipment; however, some oil

remains in the engine. The

amount of oil left in the engine

varies.

If not using the supplied oil, add

enough SAE 10W-30 API

service category SJ or later oil to

bring the oil level between the

upper and lower limit marks on

the dipstick as shown.

Do not overfill engine with oil.

If the engine is overfilled, the

excess oil may get transferred to

the air cleaner housing and air

filter.

After filling the engine with oil,

remove the hang tag near the recoil starter grip that says “The engine

has no oil. A container of oil is in the shipping box.”
