25-6-1. Replacing the engine oil and the engine oil filter
„
Things to prepare
• Replacement new oil : 3.2 Qts. (3.0 L)
• Container for waste oil : Capacity of 3.2 Qts. (3.0 L) or more
• Filter wrench for engine oil filter cartridge
1) Swing the upper structure so that the drain plug (P) on
the bottom of the engine is positioned in the middle of
the right and left crawlers.
2) Place the container for waste oil under the drain plug
(P).
3) Slowly remove the drain plug (P) so that the oil should
not splash on you, and drain the waste oil.
4) Check the waste oil, and contact your dealer if any me-
tallic particles or foreign objects are mixed in it.
5) Reinstall the drain plug (P).
6) Turn the oil filter cartridge (1) counterclockwise with the
filter wrench to remove it.
After removing the oil filter, wait 10 to 15 minutes before
replacing it.
7) Wipe the dirt and oil from the filter mount and apply en-
gine oil (or apply grease lightly) to the seal surface of a
new oil filter cartridge.
25-6. Maintenance every 200 service hours
• Do not replace the oil immediately after the en-
gine stops to prevent bodily injury, because all
the components are hot.
• Do not allow hot oil or components to contact
your skin.
• Replace the oil and the filter element after the oil
and the components have cooled sufficiently.
