Changing the Engine Oil and
Filter
Service Interval: After the first 50 hours
Every 100 hours—Change the engine
oil and filter.
Note: Change oil and filter more frequently when
operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.

higher)
Crankcase Capacity: w/filter, 2.0 qt. (1.9 l)

1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure that the oil
drains completely.
3. Set the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove
the key.
4. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the oil drain
plug to allow oil to drain.
5. When the oil has drained completely, replace the
plug.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling
center.
6. Place a shallow pan or rag under the filter to catch
oil (Figure 48).
