Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Warranty.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check
the engine oil level before startup.
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 sealing
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing 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.
TORQUE: 18 N·m
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
(see page 8) to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill
