See Figure 15.
Replace the oil after the first 00 hours of operation and
every 00 hours following the first oil change.
Place a suitable container underneath the drain to collect
used oil.
Remove the drain plug with a 8 mm socket or wrench.
When the used oil has drained, reinstall the drain plug

To refill, use a funnel to pour oil into the fill hole. Refill only

refilling is 7. oz. (04 g).
Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
