Checking Engine Oil (Daily)

1.When checking or adding oil, place the machine so the engine is level.

2.Pull the engine oil dipstick from its holder.

3.Determine if engine oil is low. Oil level should be between the upper land lower limit (Figure 44) on the dipstick.

DO NOT OVERFILL

4.If oil level is low, add correct amount of engine oil to bring oil level to a normal safe level (See Recommended Viscosity Grades, Table 6).

5.Allow enough time for any added oil to make its way to the oil pan before rechecking.

Changing Engine Oil And Filter

Change the engine oil and filter after the first 50 hours of use, then every 6 months or 250 hours. Refer to Table 6 for recommended oil viscosity.

1.Prepare a waste oil collector to drain the oil into.

2.Remove the oil filler cap while draining the oil to allow the engine to drain easil

3.Remove the drain plug (Figure 45) to drain the oil.

4.After oil is sufficiently drained, securely tighten the drain plug.

5.Using a filter wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise to remove.

6.Clean sealing surface on engine where filter mounts.

7.Coat the seal of the new oil filter with clean engine oil. Install new filter first by hand until it contacts the engine sealing surface. Tighten it another 3/4 turn using the filter wrench.

8.Fill engine crankcase with high quality detergent oil classified "For Service CF, or CF-4". Fill to the upper limit of dipstick. DO NOT overfill. Crankcase oil capacity with oil filter replacement is 1.5 gals (7 liters).

9.Run the engine briefly for several minutes. Watch for oil leakage. Shut the engine down and allow it to sit for several minutes. Top off the oil to the upper limit on the dipstick.
