The engine oil should be a high-grade detergent oil, such as SAE 30 for warmer temperatures or 10W-30 for cooler conditions. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations regarding fluid types and capacities to ensure optimal performance.

This gap ensures proper engagement and disengagement of the clutch, allowing for optimal performance of the mower deck.

Always ensure the clutch is properly adjusted to avoid excessive wear or malfunction.
