Cannot locate oil drain plug?

hi.
some lawnmowers do not have drainage plugs for oil changes. you tilt the machine on its side + the oil comes out where you top it up. put a jug or container
so you can measure how much oil you have taken out .
so you only put back what you drained in oil
hope this has helped.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN CARRYING OUT THIS PROCEDURE IF ATTEMPING IT YOURSELF BECAUSE SOMETIMES A "CHARGE" OF PETROL CAN STILL BE INSIDE THE MOWER SO DISCONNET THE PLUG LEAD AND GIVE THE PULLCORD A COUPLE OF PULLSTART MOTIONS OTHERWISE YOU MAY END UP WITH A FEW LESS FINGERS THAN YOU START WITH HOPE THIS IS GOOD ADVICE

You don't say what type of engine is fitted, but there will be a drain plug under the mower on the bottom of the engine - similar to a car. It will either be a large hex bolt head, or a square drive female recepracle i the head of the plug.

Change the oil when HOT - be careful it will be as thin as water and can cause severe burns.
