General Lubrication

Cables

None of the cables require lubrication;

however, it is advisable to lubricate the

ends of the cables periodically with a

good cable lubricant.

Engine Oil and Filter 

NOTE: Refer to the recommended

oil viscosity chart (on page 34) in this

manual for the proper engine oil.

Change the engine oil and oil filter at the

scheduled intervals. The engine should

always be warm when the oil is changed

so the oil will drain easily and completely.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground; then

remove the access panel.

WT037A

2. Loosen the oil level stick. Be careful not

to allow contaminants to enter the open-

ing.

3. Remove the drain plug from the bot-

tom of the engine and drain the oil

into a drain pan.

WT294A

4. Using the oil filter wrench and a ratchet

handle (or a socket or box-end wrench),

remove the old oil filter and dispose of

properly. Do not re-use oil filter.

NOTE: Clean up any excess oil

after removing the filter.

5. Apply oil to the new filter seal ring

and check to make sure it is posi-

tioned correctly; then install the new

oil filter. Tighten securely.

6. Install the engine drain plug and

tighten it securely. Pour the recom-

mended oil in the filler hole. Install

filler plug.

7. Start the engine (while the vehicle is

outside on level ground) and allow it

to idle for a few minutes.

8. Turn the engine off and wait approxi-

mately one minute. 

9. Unscrew the oil level stick and wipe

it with a clean cloth.

10. Install the oil level stick and thread

into the engine case.

NOTE: The oil level stick should

be threaded into the case for check-
ing the oil level.

11. Remove the oil level stick; the oil level

must be within the operating range but

not exceeding the upper mark.
