3. Remove the pipe plug from the gearbox.
4. Check the oil level in the gearbox. The oil should
be at the point of overflowing at the filler opening.
5. If the oil level is low, add GL-5 or GL-6, SAE
85-95 EP gear oil lubricant to the gearbox until
the point of overflow.
Note:
Do not use synthetic oil.
6. Install the pipe plug in the gearbox.

Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval: After the first 5 hours—Change the
engine oil.
Every 50 hours—Change the engine oil.
Change the engine oil every 25 operating hours
when operating the engine under a heavy load.
If possible, run the engine just before changing the
oil because warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
Use automotive detergent oil with an API service
classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.
