Engine Maintenance
CAUTION
DO NOT overfill crankcase with oil. Agitation or splashing of oil may
cause it to become aerated, which will affect oil pressure and may
result internal engine damage from lack of lubrication. Oil being
splashed by reciprocating engine parts onto the walls of the cylinder
in greater quantity than the rings can control will subsequently be
drawn into the combustion chamber and burned. Continuous oper-
ation under these conditions can cause carbon to form on chamber
surfaces, which will adversely affect engine performance and may
lead to premature engine repair.
Oil Filters
NOTE: Lay a towel or catch basin under the filter(s) to catch any
spilled oil.
Unscrew old filter by using an oil filter wrench and turn count-
er clockwise. Once removed, clean mounting base. Be sure old
gasket is removed from mounting base.
Apply thin film of oil (do not use grease) to filter gasket. Be sure
gasket is seated properly in base of oil filter.
Hand tighten filter, plus ½ turn, after gasket contacts mounting
base. Use a filter wrench is necessary. Do not over tighten.
