3. Change the Filters
a. Unscrew the filters C.

Capacities).
Wipe off any spilt oil. Make sure the filler cap B is
secure.
5. Check for leaks
a. Before starting the engine, turn the engine over with
the Engine Shutdown control pressed down until the
oil pressure warning light goes out.
b. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes
c. Stop the engine, and let it stand for a few minutes,
remove the key.
d. Check the engine for any leaks, and check the oil
level. See Checking the Oil Level.
Note: Check the oil level only after about 20 minutes. If you
check it straight after the engine has stopped, the oil level
indicated will be false as the oil is still distributed around the
engine and needs to fall.
