Draining The Engine Oil
1. Start and warm up the engine so the oil will drain easily.
2. Level the vehicle so the oil will drain completely.
NOTE
There is limited space between the engine and power pack frame to place a collection
tray at the oil drain plugs. Remove the oil from the engine by inserting a vacuum tube
through the dipstick hole and using a vacuum pump such as the 638-02 TOPSIDER MVP
VACUUM PUMP available through ARGO

for oil leaks. Stop engine and re-check oil level. Add oil if required.
