To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine for a short time to warm
the engine oil. The oil will flow more
freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain hose on the engine.
See Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1
3. Remove the hose from the clip securing
it to the frame.
4. Route the free end of the oil drain hose
toward an appropriate oil collection
container with at least a 2.5 quart
capacity, to collect the used oil.
NOTE: Avoid getting oil on the muffler
when draining.
5. While holding the free end of the
oil drain hose over the oil collection
container, unscrew the square-head
hose plug from the end of the hose. See
Figure 4-1. Drain the engine oil into the
collection container.
6. After draining the oil, wipe any residual
oil from the oil drain hose. Thread the
square head plug into the drain hose
fitting and fully tighten the plug.

Place a cloth under the bracket and rotate the oil
filter counterclockwise to remove from the oil
