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 66).

an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is to the bottom
of the filler neck.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
