CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND
FILTER
For new engines, change the oil after first 25 operating hours.
Thereafter, under normal conditions, change the oil and filter
after every 100 hours of operation. However, an engine operated
in dusty or dirty conditions requires more frequent oil changes.
If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil. Warm oil
flows more freely and carries more contaminants than cold oil.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
3. Place an oil drain pan below the drain cap on the bottom of
the crankcase. Clean the area around the drain cap.
4. Remove the drain cap and allow the oil to flow into the
drain pan. After the oil is drained, install the oil drain cap.
5. Remove the oil filter and discard. Thoroughly clean the fil-
ter mounting surface and make sure a new gasket is
installed in the new filter.
6. Apply a thin film of clean oil to gasket. Install the new filter
by hand until the gasket just touches the mounting surface,
then turn an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
7. Remove the filler cap and pour 3 quarts of oil having the
API "service classification" SF or SG into the filler neck.
Recommended viscosity (weight) of oil is SAE 30.
8. Start the engine and check for leaks around the oil filter.
tighten the filter only enough to eliminate leaks. DO NOT
