Changing The Oil; Changing The Oil Filter - Husqvarna Rider 15V2 AWD Operator's Manual

Changing the oil

The oil should be changed for the first time after 8
hours of running time. Thereafter it should be
changed every 100 hours of running time.
With heavy loads or high temperatures replace the
oil after every 50 hours.
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the
engine is stopped. Therefore
allow the engine temperature to
drop from hot to warm level first.
1. Place a receptacle under the engine's drain
plug, located on the left-hand side of the engine.
2. Remove the dip stick and drain plug.
3. Drain the oil run into the receptacle while the
engine is warm.
4. Fit the drain plug and tighten.
5. Refill with fresh oil to the FULL mark on the dip
stick. The oil is filled in the same hole as for the
dip stick. See "Checking the engine's oil level"
for filling instructions. The engine holds 1.5 litres
(1.6 USqt) when oil filter is not changed and 1.7
litres (1.8 USqt) when oil filter is changed.
6. Run the engine warm and then check that there
is no leakage from the drain plug.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is hazardous to health and
environment and must in accordance with
the law not be poured out on the ground
or in the nature, and must be handed in to
a workshop or other designated station for
treatment. Avoid skin contact. Wash with
soap and water in the event of spillage.

Changing the oil filter

Replace the oil filter every 200 operating hours.
Drain the oil first, using the plug on the filter base.
Remove the old filter by turning it counterclockwise,
using an oil filter tool.
Lightly coat the rubber gasket with new oil and then
install the filter by turning it clockwise until hand
tight. Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn.
Supply new engine oil as specified in "Checking the
engine's oil level". Make sure the drain is reinstalled
before starting the engine.Start the engine for
about 3 minutes and then stop and check for
leakage. Add oil to compensate for oil level drop
due to oil filter capacity.
