PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE

Engine oil and oil filter should be changed after the first 100 hours of operation, then every 200 hours of oper-
ation.
1. Make sure the key switch is OFF and the Forward/Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL position. Chock
the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally start-
ing..." in General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-2.
3. Position a pan designed for oil changes under the front drain plug.

engine oil to drain into the pan (Figure 10-5, Page 10-5).

WARNING
• Do not attempt to change engine oil when the engine is hot or even warm. Engine oil can
cause skin burns.
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear rubber
gloves when handling oil drain plug, oil filter and oil drain pan.
5. Clean the oil drain plug threads with solvent to remove oil and oil residue. Make sure that the compres-
sion washer remains on the drain plug.
6. Use a 14 mm socket or wrench and replace the front oil drain plug, turning it clockwise and tighten to 18
ft-lb (24.4 N·m).
7. Place a floor jack under the rear receiver hitch where the hitch and body frame are fastened. Lift the vehi-
cle body slightly, allowing the front of the engine to tilt slightly downward, compressing the snubber. This
will allow the oil filter more clearance under the electrical component box (Figure 10-6, Page 10-6).
8. Relocate the oil drain pan to a position under the engine oil filter (Figure 10-7, Page 10-6).
9. Remove the engine oil filter, turning it counterclockwise, allowing the residual oil in the filter port and filter
to drain into the oil drain pan. See following NOTE.
