Change Engine Oil and Filter
The engine lubrication oil and oil lter must be changed
at the same time.
To change the engine lubrication oil:
1. Park the paver on a level surface and turn off the
engine.
Change the engine lubrication oil
while the engine is WARM, not hot. Hot oil can cause
serious personal injury.
2. If needed, wait until the engine lubrication oil has
cooled a little. Oil should be warm, not hot.
3. Locate oil drain hose on right side of the engine.
4. Place a container large enough to hold 14 quarts
(13.24 liters) of oil underneath the drain hose.
5. Remove cap on end of the hose and drain all engine
oil into the container.
6. Reinstall cap back onto the hose and reinsert hose
back into place.
7. Fill the engine with 14 quarts (13.24 liters) of oil at the
oil ll cap.
8. Check oil level using the oil dipstick.
9. Dispose of used oil in accordance with local and
federal environmental laws.
DO NOT change the engine lubrication
oil lter while the engine is running. Serious engine
damage will occur.
Use the following procedures to change the oil lter:
1. Wipe the area around the oil lter and its mounting
base with a clean cloth.
2. Place the empty container under the lter element.
3. Use a lter removal wrench to remove the lter,
turning counterclockwise.
4. Drain and discard the oil lter in accordance with
Step 9 above..
NOTE: Discard the used rubber gasket with the lter
element.
5. Wipe inside the oil lter head using a clean, lint-free
cloth.
6. Rub a little oil on the rubber gasket area of the new
lter element.
7. Fill the new lter with fresh oil.
8. Install the new lter element onto the lter head.
Carefully tighten the lter (by hand only).
