every 200 service
hours

Always use a genuine oil filter.

Engine Oil" in "EVERY 100 HOURS" in "PERIODIC
SERVICE" section.)

a clean cloth.

the open end up. Pour new oil, of the proper type, in
through the threaded center hole. Stop pouring when
the oil reaches the bottom of the threads. Allow a
minute or 2 for the oil to be absorbed by the filter
material.

new oil filter.

tighten the filter clockwise until the rubber gasket
contacts the adapter, then tighten the filter an
additional
2/3 turn
.
6. Fill the engine with the proper oil to the "FULL" or "F"
mark on the dipstick. Always check the oil level with
the dipstick before adding more oil.
7. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
8. Start the engine and check for oil leaks. Recheck oil
level before placing the engine into service.
Stop the engine, correct any leaks, and allow a minute
for the oil to drain down, then recheck the level on the
dipstick.
A
To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always
maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never
operate the engine with the oil level below the "ADD"
or "L" mark or above the "FULL" or "F" mark on the
