LUBRICATION

Change of oil filter

Replace oil filter every 200 operating hours. Drain oil first using the plug on the filter base. Remove the old filter using an oil filter tool. Lightly coat rubber gasket with new oil, then install filter by turning it to the right until hand tight. Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn. Check that the drain plug is reinstalled before starting the engine.

Start engine and check for leakage.
