Simplicity 1693128 OIL & Filter Change, Check / Change AIR Filter, Inspect & Replace Spark Plugs

4.Allow the filter to drain until all water and debris have drained out.

5.Turn the base of the filter back to close the fuel filter valve when finished draining.

OIL & FILTER CHANGE

Refer to Figure 21, 23 & 24 for oil filter and dipstick loca- tions.

To drain the oil:

1.Place a drain pan below the engine oil pan.

2.Remove the oil drain plug and allow the engine to completely drain.

3.Remove and replace the oil filter.

4.Reinstall the oil drain plug.

5.Refill the engine oil. See the engine owners manual for oil recommendations.

CHECK / CHANGE AIR FILTER

Refer to the engine manual for specific air filter service procedures. Refer to Figures 21 and 24 for air filter loca- tions.

INSPECT & REPLACE SPARK PLUGS

Refer to the engine manual for specific spark plug replacement procedures. Refer to Figures 22-23 for spark plug locations.

CHECK ANTIFREEZE LEVEL (LIQUID COOLED MODELS ONLY)

The engine coolant level and quality should be checked before each use, when the engine is off and cool.

1.Check the coolant level in the overflow reservoir (C, Figure 23, & F, Figure 24,). Coolant should be between the “H” and “L” marks on the tank.

2.If the coolant level is below the “L” mark on the over- flow reservoir, add coolant by shutting off the engine, allowing the engine to cool, removing the reservoir cap, and adding coolant. Proper coolant mix is a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and distilled water.
