front wheel. Refer to "How to Edge Along a Curb".

drain plug and frame hole.
5. Remove oil dipstick. (See Figure 3)
6. Remove the oil drain bolt and washer.
7. Allow all oil to drain through the frame hole into the pan.
IMPORTANT: Used oil is a hazardous waste. Place oil in a

How to Replace the Belt
IMPORTANT: Only use a replacement belt from the manufacturer.
To order spare parts call us at 1-800-737-2112.
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
2. To ease the replacement of a belt, remove the control rod
(See Figure 2). This will allow the quill arm to rotate back
creating slack in the belt.
