AILED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
When engine oil requires replacement:
• Ensure oil is warm from vehicle engine operation.
• Place an appropriately sized container directly under the oil tank drain plug.
• Remove drain plug ensuring that cascading or splashing oil will not come in contact with eyes or skin.
• Allow engine oil to thoroughly drain. (About 5 minutes.)
• Replace oil drain plug.
• Remove oil filter by unscrewing canister in a counterclockwise direction. (Fig.

Letter

)
• Clean oil filter mounting plate surface to remove any foreign material, old gasket remnants, etc.
• Apply a thin film of oil to the cleaned oil filter mounting plate. Apply a similar thin film of oil to a new oil
filter gasket.
• Screw the new filter with gasket onto oil filter mounting plate. Fill oil tank with appropriate amount of oil
listed in 1-2, Section C Fluid Capacities Type listed in Consumables Table 1.
• Start engine after filling oil tank with about 72 ounces of oil. Watch for the oil level to lower as the filter
fills; then foam starts forming on oil surface as oil starts to return from engine. Finish topping off tank
with the balance of the required amount of oil (from chart).
• Replace oil tank cap.
