II. Oil Fill Cap/Plug

If your engine does NOT have an oil fill cap/dipstick go to step 1. If your engine has an oil fill cap/dipstick, see

"I. Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick" instructions on page 14.

1.Carefully disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug. See Figures 38 and 39. See “G” Avoid Accidental Starts” instructions on page 2. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.

•Keep the disconnected spark plug wire securely away from metal parts where arcing could occur.

•Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the grounding post, if provided.

2.Be sure fuel fill cap is on and tightened securely. See Figure 40.

3.Be sure you find the correct oil drain plug location (see equipment manufacturer’s instructions). See Figure 41.

4.Clean area around oil drain plug.

5.Place approved recyclable oil container under oil drain plug, tipping engine to position the oil drain plug at the lowest point on the engine (see equipment manufac- turer’s instructions).

6.Remove oil drain plug and drain oil into an approved recyclable oil container.

NOTE

Used oil must be disposed of at a proper collection center.

7. Install oil drain plug and tighten securely.
