11.4.1.3
Changing the oil filter
Get into the habit of changing the oil filter every time you change the oil. (Interval: every 100
hours).
• The oil filter can be found on the side of the engine, close to the
hydraulic oil tank.
• Drain all of the oil first (see § 11.4.1.2).
• Place the receptacle under the filter (the remaining quantity of
oil in the filter is a maximum of 0.3l).
• Then unscrew the oil filter. (Counter-clockwise)
For your information:
This filter can be secured very tightly to the engine. There are special tools to
unscrew this filter. Ask for this type of tool at a service-centre that deals with
this brand of engine.
• Use the original filters stipulated by the engine manufacturer (see engine manual). You
can purchase these filters from your ELIET dealer or from a service-centre for the brand
of engine. Stock no: B&S Vanguard 18 hp: ????
• Wipe a little fresh oil onto the sealing ring on the new filter.
• Tighten the new filter until the seal touches the filter adapter.
• The filter can then be tightened by one extra turn.
• The engine can now be refilled with fresh oil (see Appendix A-P1).
Respect the environment: take the oil to an authorised collection point for expert processing
or recycling. Never pour oil down the drain.
