How To Change The Oil
Change oil after first 5 to 8 hours of use, then every 50 hours. Change oil every 25 hours when operating the engine under heavy load or in high temperatures.
1Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.
2Clean the area around the oil fill cap (A) and the oil drain plug (B) of dirt and debris. See Figure 27.
3With engine off but still warm, remove the oil drain plug (B). Completely drain all of the oil from the engine into an appropriate receptacle.
4After draining all the oil, install and tighten the oil drain plug.
5Make sure the engine is level.
6Remove the oil fill cap (A) from the engine oil fill
(C).
7To add oil, pour the oil slowly into the engine oil fill. The engine holds approximately 20 ounces (0.6 liter) of oil. For the type of oil to use, see “Oil Recommendation” in the Operation Section.
8Connect the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
