CHANGING THE OIL

For a new engine, change the oil after the first 10 hours of
operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will
flow freely and carry away more impurities.

2. Remove the oil fill plug.
3. Pour the oil out of the oil
fill hole and into a
container by tipping the
unit to a vertical position
(Fig. 20). Allow ample
time for complete
drainage.

on the unit and clean up
any oil that may have
spilled. Dispose of the
oil according to Federal,
State and local
regulations.

cup) of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil.

the correct amount of oil. The top of the label on the bottle
measures approximately 3.04 ounces (90 ml or 3/8 cup) (Fig.
21). Check the level, See Checking the Oil Level. If the level is
low, add a small amount of oil and recheck. Do not overfill
