Removing and Replacing the Engine Oil
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• 10mm Wrench
• Rags and approved Container (for waste oil)
• Engine Oil (see your Engine Manual for Oil specifications)
Note: Drain the oil when the Engine is warm; warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Set the machine on a level surface, place an approved Waste Oil Container
under the Oil Drain Plug on the left side of the Engine (Figure 12).
2. Remove the Oil Drain Plug at the front of the Engine using a 10mm Wrench
allowing the used oil to drain completely through the drain hole and down
into the Container.
3. Replace the Oil Drain Plug and refill with new oil through the Oil
Fill/Dipstick. See “Adding Oil and Gasoline” on page 11.
Note: Be sure to use environmentally safe disposal procedures in the disposing of the
used oil.
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Engine, wait five minutes to allow all parts to cool.
Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
