Changing The Engine Oil; Cables - Dixon SPEEDZTR 44 965981001 Operator's Manual

Changing the Engine Oil

The engine oil should be changed for the first time
after 5-8 hours of operation. Thereafter, it should be
changed every 50 hours. The oil drain valve is located
on the left side of the unit, below the oil filter.
• Place the machine on a flat surface.
• Place a container under the engine where the oil
drain valve exits.
• Remove the valve cap.
• Allow the oil to run out into the container.
• Reinstall the oil drain valve cap.
• Replace the oil filter if necessary.
• Fill with new engine oil in accordance with
Checking the Oil Level.
• Start the engine. Run it for 3-5 minutes. Stop and
recheck the oil level.

Cables

If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move
the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.
Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated
regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.
If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it
vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil
begins to escape from the bottom.
Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that
it seals against the sheath and allow the cable to hang
vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed
in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.
