Removing and Replacing the Engine Oil
Tools & Supplies Recommended:
Flat Head Screw Driver
Vacuum Pump Oil Drainer
SAE 30 High Detergent, 20 oz. (0.60L)
NOTE:
Remove the Oil when the Engine is warm. Warm Oil flows quickly and completely.
1.
Using a Flat Head Screw Driver, remove the Oil Fill Cap and vacuum the Oil from the Engine through the Oil Fill (
Figure 4
on
page 9) using a Vacuum Pump Oil Drainer.
2.
Replace the Oil by following the instructions on page 9.
NOTE:
Use SAE 30 High Detergent Oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. Do not use special additives. Other types of
Oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.
3.
Replace the Oil Fill Cap and reattach the Spark Plug Wire.
NOTE:
Be sure to use environmentally safe disposal procedures for the used Oil.
When performing any maintenance, you must first shut off the Engine, wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool and disconnect
the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
Never oil or grease Pivot Points. Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that can cause wear on pivot points. If you feel you
must lubricate them, use only dry powdered graphite type lubricants.
