Maintenance
Pump Oil Change
1.) Place a suitable container below the pump to catch the used oil. Remove drain plug.
2.) Allow the used oil to drain completely. Reinstall drain plug.
3.) Please dispose of used oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest
you take used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash; pour it on the ground or down the drain.
4.) With the pump in a level position add oil to the pump, (see capacities and oil type below).

Checking Oil Level for 157711
1.) Turn off engine, allow it to cool and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2.) Twist the dipstick cap until the arrow on the cap lines up with the arrow on the breather plug
tube. Remove the dipstick from the breather plug tube. Then remove the breather plug tube
from the pump.
3.) Wipe the dipstick off with a clean dry cloth. Insert the dipstick cap into the pump housing and
remove it. The oil level should be at least to the lower “L” notch on the dipstick, but not above
the upper “H” notch. Add above recommended oil as needed.
4.) Thread the pump breather plug tube back into the pump housing.
5.) Align the arrow on the dipstick cap with the arrow on the breather plug tube, insert it, and twist
it to secure. Reconnect the spark plug.
