Changing Oil
To drain oil from the engine's crankcase, proceed as
follows:
Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil to
warm up. Warm oil flows more easily and will carry
away more impurities when draining oil.
Position the chipper shredder on level surface and
place an appropriate receptacle with a capacity of
at least one quart beneath the oil drain tube. See
Figure 16.
Oil Drain Tube

Use a 3/8" wrench to unthread the oil plug from the
drain tube, allowing the used oil to flow out.
Replace the oil plug and add 20 oz. of new oil
(Refer to Page 9 for proper oil type). Do NOT
overfill.
Replace dipstick and check oil level (Refer to Page
