ENGINE OIL

IMPORTANT: Always read and follow the engine manufacturer's instructions on all matters relat-
ing to use and maintenance. Observe the oil change intervals as this will greatly enhance the service
life of your engine.
The engine oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of operation.
- Start the engine and allow it to idle until warm. This will usually take about 5 minutes.
- Switch off the engine and raise the engine cover. Clean around the oil filler cap and remove.
- Locate the oil drain plug on the right hand side of the engine. It is clearly identified with a yellow cap
which is fitted to the drain adaptor.
- The drain adaptor has been designed to facilitate draining of the oil.
- Remove the yellow cap.
- Fit a short length of hose to the drain adaptor nozzle and route it into an appropriate container of approx-
imately 2 litres.
- Push the adaptor in, rotate it anti-clockwise and release to start the oil flowing.
- When the oil has completely finished draining from the engine shut off the adaptor by pushing in and
rotating clockwise.
- Remove the length of tubing and replace the yellow cap.
- Refill the engine with the recommended grade of oil (SAE 30 engine oil classified for service - SF mini-
mum) until full.
IMPORTANT: - Do not overfill.
- The use of non-recommended lubricants may lead to excessive wear and dam-
age which will not be covered by the warranty.
If there is evidence that the engine is overheating or that oil consumption is excessive - contact your dealer.

OIL FILTER

The oil filter is located on the left hand side of the engine and should be renewed every 100 hours of
