2. Remove the oil filler cap while draining the oil (Figure 25,
Item 4) to allow the engine to drain easily.
3. Remove the drain plug (Item 1) to drain the oil.
4. After oil is sufficiently drained, securely tighten the drain
plug.
5. Using a filter wrench, turn the oil filter (item 3) counter-
clockwise to remove.
6. Clean sealing surface on engine where filter mounts.
7. Coat the seal of the new oil filter with clean engine oil.
Install new filter first by hand until it contacts the engine
sealing surface. Tighten it another 3/4 turn using the filter
wrench.
8. Fill engine with oil until it shows between the upper and
lower limits on the dipstick. Do Not overfill.
9. Run the engine briefly for several minutes. Watch for oil
leakage. Shut the engine down and allow it to sit for several
minutes. Top off the oil to the upper limit on the dipstick.
Do not run the engine with the air cleaner removed or without
an element.

Engine Oil (Daily)
1. When checking or adding oil, place the machine so the
engine is level.
2. Pull the engine oil dipstick from its holder, (item 1, Fig 7).
3. Determine if engine oil is low, (item 4). Oil should be
between the upper limit and lower limit (add oil) lines.
4. If oil is below the "Add Engine Oil" line add oil up to upper
limit on the dipstick. Allow enough time for any added oil to
make its way to the oil pan before rechecking.
Check engine oil level daily and follow the procedures listed on
page 24.
