Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited
Warranty.
The Oil Alert system will automatically stop the engine before the
oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the
inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the
engine oil level before startup.
Oil Change
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new washer, and tighten the oil drain plug securely.
DRAIN PLUG
Please dispose of used motor 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 pour it down a drain.
