Changing the Engine Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Set the parking brake, stop the pump, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
3. Release the latch on the back of the seat and lift the seat
forward.
Caution
Components under the seat will be hot if the
sprayer has been running. If you touch hot
components you may be burned.
Allow the sprayer to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components under the
hood.
