CHANGE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
NOTE: Engine oil and filter must be changed after first 50 hours of operation to comply with new
machine break-in requirements. After first change, oil and filter should be changed every
250 hours.

cock beside left wall of fuel tank. Loosen
drain cock and allow all engine oil to drain
out. Tighten drain cock.

the temperature is about 40°C
(104°F).

filter is a spin-on type (Figure 55). Remove
and discard filter.
3. Install new filter, Apply a small amount of
oil around filter gasket. Screw filter on
head until gasket contacts head by hand,
turn filter 3/4~1 turn more with filter
wrench.
NOTE: See “Fluid Capacities” on
page 4-5 for capacity.

port. Refer to Lubrication Table of this
manual for recommended oil for the
operating conditions.

light.
