.. CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
1. Review the Operator's Manual for
the engine.
2. Place all controls in neutral and
stop engine.
3. Allow the engine to cool before
changing the oil. Hot oil can cause
burns if it contacts exposed skin.
It is best to change oil while the
engine is warm to keep the con-
taminants in suspension.
4. Place a pan under the drain plug.
5. Remove the drain plug and allow
the oil to drain for 10 minutes.
6. Install and tighten the drain plug.
7. Dispose of the used oil in an ap-
proved container.
8. Fill the crankcase with the specified oil.
9. Run the engine for 1-2 minutes and check for
oil leaks.
10. If leaks are found around the drain plug,
tighten slightly.
11. Check engine oil level. Top up as required.
