Changing the Engine Oil
The Engine on your machine is not equipped with an Oil Drain Plug and will
require some disassembly to fully drain the Oil. There is however an Oil
Suction Pump available to make draining the Oil easier. Please visit our web
site at www.DRPower.com or call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
Tools and Supplies needed:
SAE 30 HD Oil (refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for quantity required)
Suitable container for used oil
Rags
3/8" Wrench
Note:
Drain the oil when the Engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.

(
