SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

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.

CAUTION: Wear gloves to prevent injury

when handling the unit.

1. Unplug spark plug boot to prevent accidental starting.

2. Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick.

3. Pour the oil out of the oil fill hole and into a container

by tipping the unit to a vertical position. See

Figure 28. Allow ample time for complete drainage.

6. Replace the oil fill plug/dipstick.

7. Reconnect the spark plug boot.

4. Wipe up any oil residue on the unit and clean up any

oil that may have spilled. Dispose of the oil

according to Federal, State and local regulations.

5. Refill the crankcase with 3.4 fluid ounce (100 ml) of

SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil.

NOTE: Use the bottle and spout saved from initial use to

measure the correct amount of oil. The top of the

label on the bottle measures approximately 3.4

ounces (100 ml). Check the level with the

dipstick. If the level is low, add a small amount of

oil and recheck. Do not overfill. See Figure 29.
