CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND FILTER

1. Review the Operator's
Manual for the engine.
2. Place all controls in
neutral, stop engine
and remove ignition
key before maintain-
ing.

warm to keep the con-

sion.

drain plug.

allow the oil to drain

drain plug.
7. Dispose of the used
oil in an approved
container.
8. Remove engine oil
filter.
9. Apply a light coat of
oil to the O ring and
install the replacement
filter. Snug up by
hand and then tighten
another 1/2 turn.
10. Fill the crankcase with
specified oil.
11. Run the engine for 1-2
minutes and check for
oil leaks.
12. If leaks are found around the drain plug or
filter, tighten slightly. Repeat step 9.
