Inspect the filter. Make sure the ‘O’ ring is not left on the engine surface.
Be careful of hot oil when drained. It may be hot enough to burn you severely
Drain the oil by removing the drain plug found at the rear of the engine base. Remove using a 3/4" wrench. At the
first oil change,
small
metal chips and lint may be found. This is normal, resulting from the break-in period. Inspect
the filter at every oil change. The presence of large metal chips could indicate possible damage to the engine.
Wipe the area around the drain plug mount with a lint free cloth and inspect the drain plug (A) for damage; replace if
necessary. Replace the "O"-ring (B) with a new one and tighten to 61 in. lbs. (7.0 Nm) torque. Apply engine oil to the
oil filter seal and install oil filter onto the engine until the seal contacts mounting surface of the engine. Then turn the
filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotations by HAND(S). Pour in the specified type and amount of oil See “Capacity and Replacement
Parts” chart on page 55.
Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less than 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual oil
left in engine. The oil must be high quality oil that meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards. Check oil level on
dipstick. Oil should be slightly below ‘H’ to allow for expansion. If necessary, continue to add oil slowly and allow time
for oil to flow down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick.
Do not overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or
allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operat-
ing the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will
result in oil being discharged into the engine compartment
