Oil and Filter Change
15. Reinstall the dipstick.
16. Place the gear selector in neutral and set the parking brake.
17. Prime the oil pump using the procedure below. Then stop the
engine and inspect for leaks.
18. Re-check the oil level on the dipstick and add oil as necessary to
bring the level to the upper mark on the dipstick.
19. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
Oil Pump Priming
This priming procedure must be performed whenever the oil hose
connection between the oil tank and pump inlet has been disconnected.
1. Clamp or pinch off the vent line (1)
approximately 2I from the oil tank
(2), between the end of the oil tank
vent fitting and the vent line’s
pressure relief slit (3).
2. Run the engine for 10-20 seconds.
3. Remove the vent line clamp. If the
line is bled properly, you should hear a
rush of air, indicating that the line is properly primed and ready for
operation. If you do not hear air, the line has not bled, and you’ll
need to repeat the priming procedure.
