5.2 Periodic Inspection Items
5.2.1 Inspection After Initial 50Hrs. Operation
(1) Replacing the Engine Lube Oil and Lube Oil Filters (1st time)
Precautions for Removing Hot Oil to Prevent Bums
If extracting oil from the engine while it is still hot, do not let the oil splash on
you.
During initial operation of the engine, the oil is quickly contaminated due to the initial wear of
internal parts. The lube oil must therefore be replaced early. Replace the lube oil filter at the
same time.
1. Drain off the lube oil.
It is easier and more effective to drain the engine lube
oil while the engine is still warm after operation.
1) After removing the oil dipstick, attach the hose of
the oil drain pump (optional) to the dipstick guide.
2) Drain off the oil with the drain pump.
2. Replace the lube oil filter.
1) Turn the lube oil filter to the left with the filter
wrench and remove.
2) Clean the filter installation face.
3) Apply engine oil to the installation face and put on
the new filter, turning it to the right by hand. Next,
tighten an additional 3/4 of a turn with the filter
wrench.
