Remove the pipe plug from the gearbox.
4.
Check the oil level in the gearbox. The oil should
be 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) below the filler opening.
5.
If the oil level is low, add GL-5 or GL-6, SAE
80-90 EP gear oil lubricant to the gearbox until
the oil level is 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) below the filler
opening.
Note:
Do not use synthetic oil.
6.
Install the pipe plug in the gearbox.
Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval:
After the first 5 hours—Change the
engine oil.
Yearly—Change the engine oil.
If possible, run the engine for a few minutes before
changing the oil because warm oil flows better and
carries more contaminants.
