CHANGING OIL FILTER
1. Remove the plug from the oil trough and attach a 12 mm (7/16 in.) I.D.

appropriate container.
2. Remove the old filter by turning the filter counterclockwise.
3. Allow the oil in the trough to drain.
4. Clean the remaining oil from the oil trough and filter mounting base area.
5. Remove the hose and install the plug.

new filter until the gasket contacts the base and then tighten 3/4 to 1 turn.
OIL FILLING
Remove the oil fill cap and add approximately 6.6 Liter (7.0 US qt) of the
recommended oil. This will bring the oil level within the operating range.
