CHANGING THE OIL

For a new engine, change the oil after the first 10 hours of operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm but not hot. The oil will flow freely and carry away more impurities.

1.Unplug spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.

2.Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick.

3.Pour the oil out of the oil fill hole and into a container by tipping the unit to its side (Fig. 18). Allow ample time for complete drainage.

NOTE: Wear gloves to prevent injury when handling the unit.

4.Wipe up any oil residue on the unit and clean up any oil that may have spilled. Dispose of the oil according to Federal, State and local regulations.

5.Refill the crankcase with 2.5 fluid oz. (75 mL) of SAE 10W-30 SF,SG,or SH oil.

NOTE: Use the bottle saved from initial use to measure the correct amount of oil. The bottle measures approximately 2.5 fluid oz. (75 mL) (Fig. 16).

Check the level with the dipstick. If the level is low, add a small amount ofoil and recheck. Do not overfill

(Fig. 17).
