CAUTION: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO USED ENGINE OIL IS DANGEROUS,
ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING USED
ENGINE OIL.
1. Unscrew and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
2. Place a oil collection tray under the drain plug.
3. Unscrew the drain plug, and allow the used engine oil to drain from the
crankcase into the oil collection tray.
NOTE: Drain the engine oil when the engine is warm, this will ensure the
oil flows out quicker.

5. Fill the crankcase with engine oil to the 'H' mark on the dipstick. See
page 9.
