Changing Engine Oil

For a new engine, change oil after the first 5 hours of
operation. Thereafter, change oil after every 50 hours of
operation.

Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will
flow freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure
the engine is level when filling, checking, or changing oil.

Change the oil as follows:

• To keep dirt, grass, etc., out of the engine, clean the

area around the drain plug and oil plug before
removing it.

• Remove the oil drain plug and oil plug. Tilt the engine

slightly towards the oil drain to obtain better drainage.
Be sure to allow ample time for complete drainage.

• Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened

securely.

• Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type, to

up to the thread in the oil port. Pour slowly.
