2.The oil drain hose (A, Figure 25) is located on the left side of the engine. Remove the oil drain hose from its storage position and re-position the oil drain hose over the side of the engine deck and place a small pan beneath it to catch the old engine oil.

3.Using the appropriate tools, remove the cap (C) from the oil drain tube.

4.After draining, replace the cap and wipe up any spilled oil. Reinstall the oil drain hose into the storage position (route around to the front of the engine) to retain the hose during normal operation.

5.Place an absorbent shop cloth under the engine oil filter (B). Remove the oil filter and discard.

6.Using a drop of oil (see the engine operator’s manual for oil recommendations) on your finger tip, wet the rubber gasket on the bottom of the new filter.

7.Turn the filter clockwise until the rubber gasket meets the filter base. Then turn 1/2” to 3/4” of a turn more.

8.Add engine oil (Refer to the engine operator’s manual for oil filling instructions.)
