3. Use a 16 mm (5/8 in.) wrench and loosen the oil drain valve so that it can
be turned by hand. Be careful not to open the valve too far allowing oil to
drain.
4. Attach a 12 mm (7/16 in.) I.D. drain hose to the oil drain valve. Position
the opposite end of the hose into an appropriate container.
5. Loosen the oil drain valve 2‑1/2 turns to allow oil to drain. Do not exceed
2‑1/2 turns.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen the oil drain valve more than 2‑1/2 turns out. The
oil seal could get damaged beyond 2‑1/2 turns.
6. After the oil has drained, hand‑tighten the oil drain valve (clockwise) and
remove the oil drain hose.
7. Tighten the oil drain valve to the specified torque. Clean up any oil in the
