11.4.2. Changing the engine oil
Warning:
Filling the engine oil tank is done in TWO steps.
Read all of the text carefully!
• Make sure that the base of the engine is on a horizontal surface.
• Allow the engine to run until it reaches normal operating temperature, then switch it off
(remove the ignition key).
• Place a receptacle 2 litre-3/4 US gallon below
the oil drain plug (1).
• Unscrew the filler cap (2).
• Replace the drain plug (1) and allow the oil to drain into
the receptacle.
• Once all of the oil has been removed from the crankcase,
screw back on the drainage plug.
• Clean the edges using a cloth.
• Slowly pour fresh oil into the engine and then screw back
on the filler cap. (Consult the engine manual for the exact quantity.)
• Wait about 2 minutes for the oil level to stabilise.
• Pour in oil until it reaches the “F” (Full) mark on the dipstick.
• Wipe off any spilled oil.
Warning: Insufficient oil in the engine can cause irreparable, serious damage to
the engine. Any warranty claims stemming from a faulty oil level will be dismis-
sed.
11.4.3. Cleaning the air filter
Caution: If the engine has just been stopped, the exhaust will still be hot.
• Undo the clamps retaining the cover of the air filter and remove the cover. (Subaru engine)
• Remove the two screws from the filter guard by hand and remove the guard. Vanguard engine:
• Before removing the filter, use compressed air to remove dust and dirt inside the filter housing.
• Carefully remove the pre-filter from the filter cartridge.
• Remove the nut and the sheet of the filter medium first, then remove the cartridge. (Try to
avoid allowing any dirt from entering the carburator.)
• Clean the cartridge by tapping it gently against a flat surface.
• Refit the cartridge (with the UP mark towards the top).
• Refit the pre-filter into the cartridge.
• Replace the cover and refit it by using the clamps (Subaru) or by retightening the two screws by
hand (Vanguard).
