Replacement of Oil Filter
After draining the engine oil, replace the oil filter according to the following directions:
(1) Turn the filter (A) counterclockwise and remove
it.
(2) To prevent twisting, apply new engine oil thinly
with your fingertips to a section of the new filter
gasket (O-ring).
(3) Turn the filter clockwise until the gasket
touches the mounting surface (B), and turn it ¾
of a full rotation.
(4) Lubricate with new regulation oil through the oil inlet.
After checking the oil level with the oil gauge, please tighten the oil filter plug.
Refer to “How to start the engine” (page18).
(5) After operating the engine at low speed for about 2 minutes, check for any oil leaking
from the oil filter mounting surface.
(6) Stop the engine, recheck the oil level, and add oil if necessary.
Inspection, Replacement, and Lubrication of HST oil
HST oil is also known as hydraulic fluid, and it has an important role in converting engine
power to the drive. It works as a lubricant—preventing rust-- and as a coolant. However,
insufficient or improper maintenance may cause driving problems. Always use proper HST oil
to replenish or replace the HST oil.
Inspection and lubrication
Visually check the oil level in the HST oil tank, if it is not
between the upper and lower levels of oil, open the oil
tank cap, and add HST oil to the upper limit.
Replace the oil filter by hand to prevent over tightening.
Replace the oil filter
once every two engine oil replacements,
or every season.
