oil change?

i have lost my mountfield manual. how do i change the oil?
steve lowe, August 2008
There are 2 ways to do this ....

1) The 'right' way - stand mower on some sort of raised platform so you can work underneath it. DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG, then remove the drain plug from bottom of engine - similar to a car. Drain oil (hot), replace plug and refil.

2) The 'easy' way - remove oil filler and physically tip mower up to drain oil through the filler. This works best if the engine has a dipstick - easier to catch the oil!
