6.1.3 Changing Engine Oil
During the initial engine break-in period, change the oil after
therst20hoursofoperation.Afterthe break-inperiod,
change the engine oil every 100 operating hours or annually
or more frequently if the vehicle is operated in dusty or dirty
conditions.
Draining the Engine Oil
Each engine is equipped with a drain plug for draining the
oil. The drain plug location is shown in the engine owner’s
manual. Drain the oil from the engine as follows:
1. Start and warm up the engine so the oil will drain easily.
2. Level the vehicle so the oil will drain completely.
3. Place a suitable container under oil drain of engine and
remove drain plug.
There is limited space between the engine and power
pack frame. Cut down an empty plastic container to the
correct height so it will t under the engine oil drain.
Make sure the container will hold the correct amount
of oil in the engine.
As an alternative to draining the engine oil from the
drain plug you can use a vacuum pump and remove the
oil through the dipstick tube. A pump suitable for this is
available through your Argo dealer, Part No. 638-02.
PLEASE DISPOSE OF WASTE OIL PROPERLY TO
CONSERVE OUR ENVIRONMENT.
4. When all the oil has been drained from the engine, clean
and replace the drain plug. MAKE SURE it is properly
tightenedbeforerellingtheengine.

6.2.2 Changing the Transmission Oil
ADM
Removing the oil from the Admiral transmission requires the
use of a vacuum style pump such as the 638-02 Big Boy, Top
Sider (available from Ontario Drive and Gear). Due to the
design of the ADMIRAL transmission, the majority of the oil
in the case will be below the drain plug.
Remove the drain plug (Figure 6-4) and drain the oil until the
owstops.InsertthevacuumtubeoftheBigBoyVacu-Pump
into the drain plug hole and remove the remaining oil from
the transmission sump.
