Changing engine oil
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to stop the engine before
draining engine oil.
A
When draining engine oil, place
some container underneath the
engine and dispose it according to
local regulations.
A
Do not drain oil after running the
engine. Allow engine to cool down
sufficiently.
1. Change oil after the initial 50 hours of operation and
every 500 (for DI spec), 250 (for IDI spec) hours
thereafter.
When the annual operating hours are below 500 (DI
spec) or 250 (IDI spec), replace the oil every year.
2. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the engine,
and drain all the old oil. The oil drains more easily
when the oil is warm.
3. When letting out the oil, remove the filler plug too.
With the filler plug still in place, it would be difficult to
discharge the oil completely.
4. Add new engine oil up to the upper limit of the oil
level gauge. Be careful not to add oil above the
upper limit of the oil level gauge.
B
Replacing the oil filter cartridge
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to stop the engine before
changing the oil filter cartridge.
A
Allow engine to cool down
sufficiently, oil can be hot and cause
burns.
1. Replace the oil filter cartridge. Oil filter cartridge
should be replaced after the initial 50 hours of
operation and every 500 hours thereafter.
2. Remove the old oil filter cartridge with a filter wrench.
3. Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the new cartridge.
4. Screw in the cartridge by hand. When the gasket
contacts the seal surface, tighten the cartridge
enough by hand. If you tighten the cartridge with a
wrench, it will be tightened too much.
