Warranty.
The ''Oil Alert'' buzzer (applicable types) will warn you when
engine oil needs to be added to the crankcase. If the buzzer sounds,

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new washer, and tighten the oil drain plug securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on
the dipstick with the recommended oil (see page ).
