Changing the Engine Oil And Filter

Service Interval: After the first 50 hours
Every 150 hours
Change the oil and filter initially after first 50 hours
of operation and then every 150 hours of operation
thereafter. If possible, run the engine just before
changing the oil because warm oil flows better and
carries more contaminants than cold oil.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Open the hood.
3. Set a drain pan under the oil pan and in line with
the drain plug (Figure 46).
