Avoid draining the engine oil immedi-

is hot and should be handled with care
to avoid burns.

●
Change the engine oil after the first 10
hours of operation, and every 100
hours or at 6-month intervals thereaf-
ter. Otherwise, the engine will wear
quickly.
●
Do not overfill the oil, and be sure the
engine is in an upright position (not
tilted) when checking and changing
the engine oil.

If the oil level is above the upper level
mark, drain until the level meets the
specified capacity. Overfilling the oil
may cause leakage or damage.

position.
2) Prepare a suitable container which can
hold a larger amount than the engine oil
capacity. Loosen and remove the drain
bolt

the drain hole. Let the oil drain com-
pletely. Wipe up any spilled oil immedi-
ately.

reinstall the drain bolt.
