MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
PERSONAL INJURY/EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Place controller in manual mode, e-stop applied first. If an
auto start signal comes on during maintenance, it may
result in injury, death and equipment damage.
CHANGING THE OIL
WINCO pipes the oil change to the outside for convenient
maintenance.
WINCO recommends our 5W-30 fully synthetic heavy duty
engine oil to give you maximum cold weather protection
while maintaining excellent performance in warmer
weather. We have partnered with a national lubrication oil
manufacturer to give you access to Winco private branded
premium oil available at comparable prices to conventional
oils. See your dealer for additional information.
CAUTION: PERSONAL INJURY
Only change oil when the engine is not running and is at
a low temperature in order to avoid the risk of burns.
1. Remove one of the oil caps to vent the engine
crankcase and allow the oil to drain more easily.
2. Place a drip pan or suitable container for catching the
oil . WINCO has supplied a valve on the skid frame to
hook a customer supplied 5/8” hose to conveniently
run the oil to the drip pan.
3. Drain the oil.
4. Once the oil has fully drained, close the valve.
5. Top-off through the filler port using lubricant oil
with the suitable oil table in the LUBRICATION section
of this manual.
6. Use the dip stick to ensure the level of oil does not
exceed the “MAX” limit.
7. Insert the dipstick and close the lubricant oil cap.

8. Dispose of oil in accordance to local codes. DO NOT
dispose or allow oil to seep into the ground or sewer
systems, doing so will cause environmental damage.
CHANGING OIL FILTER
The filter must be replaced when the lubricant oil is
changed.
Only use filters with a filtering degree equal to the original
filter.
CAUTION: PERSONAL INJURY
Only change oil when the engine is not running and is at
a low temperature in order to avoid the risk of burns.
1. Use an oil filter wrench to unscrew and remove the oil
filter (2) and recover the gasket.
2. Lightly coat the gasket on the new oil filter with engine
oil.
3. Install the new engine oil filter manually by turning
it clockwise until it contacts the mounting surface.
Tighten to 14 - 17 ft-lb or one additional turn using the
oil filter wrench.
4. Warm up the engine by running it for 5 minutes and
check for any oil leaks.
5. Recheck the oil level using the dipstick.
6. Add engine oil to engine oil filler port as needed until
the level is between the maximum and minimum lines
shown on the dipstick.
