Fig. 26 Oil Drain Plug
Wipe the area around the drain plug mount with a lint
free cloth and inspect the drain plug (A) for damage;
replace if necessary. Replace the "O"-ring (B) with a new
one and tighten to 61 in. lbs. (7.0 Nm) torque.
Apply engine oil to the oil filter seal and install oil filter
onto the engine until the seal contacts mounting surface
of the engine. Then turn the filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotations by
HAND(S). Pour in the specified type and amount of oil
See "Capacities and Replacement Parts" on page 25.
Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less
than 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual
oil left in engine. The oil must be high quality oil that
meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards (Ref Fig. 27
on page 19). Check oil level on dipstick. Oil should be
slightly below 'H' to allow for expansion. If necessary,
continue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow
down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick. Do not
overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking
or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.

OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operat-
ing the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will
result in oil being discharged into the engine compartment.
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehicle
on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in volume
when warm. The full 'H' mark on the dipstick is calibrated
for an engine at operating temperature. When the engine
is cold, the oil will be below the full mark. The engine can
be operated safely as long as the oil is within the safe
operating range as indicated on the dipstick. Do not
operate vehicle if oil level is below the safe area indi-
cated on the dipstick.
STARTER/GENERATOR BELT TENSION
Tool List
Belt tension gauge....................................................... 1
Wrench, 3/4"................................................................ 1
Wrench, 9/16".............................................................. 2
Ratchet, 3/8" drive ....................................................... 1
Socket, 3/4", 3/8" drive ................................................ 1
The starter/generator belt tension should be checked
after the first 15 - 20 hours and set to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36
kg).
A loose belt can cause audible vibration and squeal.
Tighten a new starter/generator belt to 90 - 110 lbs. (41-
50 kg) tension when a gauge is applied half way between
the two pulleys (Ref Fig. 28 on page 19).
A new belt may be checked manually. A maximum
deflection of 3/8" (10 mm) is acceptable (Ref Fig. 29 on
page 20). Tighten an existing belt to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36
kg) tension using the same technique and inspect for
