system is equipped with a spark arrester, as
defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective
working order. Other states or federal
jurisdictions may have similar laws. Contact the
original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or

well, may damage the unit, and may result in
injury.

damage.

1. Changing the engine oil
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before changing the oil.
• Allow the engine to cool down sufficiently, as
oil can be hot and may cause burns.
After the first 8 hours, change the engine oil.
1. Insert the hose attached with the machine to the T-
type pipe fitting on the right side of the engine.
In case no hose attached, use the hydraulic hose of
inner diameter 12.7 mm (0.5 in.), length about
150 mm (5.9 in.).
Direct the hose down, loosen the nut of the T-type
pipe fitting and drain the engine oil.
NOTE :
• The used oil can be drained out more easily
if the engine is warm.
