CHANGE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
NOTE:
Change engine oil and filter after first 50 hours on a new machine and every 250 hours
thereafter.
1.
Position a larger container under drain
valve beside left wall of fuel tank. Loosen
drain valve and allow all engine oil to drain
out. Tighten drain valve.
NOTE:
Oil warming is good when
replacing oil. If machine is cold,
operate the engine to bring the
coolant temperature up to
about 40°C (104°F). When the
needle of the coolant
temperature gauge reaches the
middle of the "WHITE ZONE,"
the temperature is about 40°C
(104°F).
2.
Replace engine oil filter (Figure 50). The
engine oil filter is a spin-on type. Remove
and discard filter.
3.
Install new filter. Apply a small amount of
oil around filter gasket. Screw filter on
head until gasket contacts head by hand,
turn filter 3/4 - 1 turn more with filter
wrench.
NOTE:
See “Fluid Capacities” on
page 4-5 for capacity.
CAUTION!
Never attempt to change oil or filter on a hot engine. Hot oil could splash and cause burns. Allow
engine to cool down before changing oil or filter.
