Regular Maintenance
Change Oil & Filter
1. Warm engine by running for a few minutes. (Refer
to the engine operator’s manual for oil & filter
replacement instructions.)
2. Route the oil drain hose (A, Figure 13) over the
side of the engine deck and underneath the fuel
tank.
3. Place a small pan under the oil drain hose to catch
the oil. Using the appropriate tools, remove the
cap from the oil drain hose and drain the engine
oil.
4. After draining, replace the cap and wipe up any
spilled oil. Reposition the oil drain hose so that is
curved away from the engine and in front of the
left hydraulic pump.
5. Place an absorbent shop cloth under the engine oil
filter (B). Remove the engine oil filter and replace
with a new one.
6. Remove the shop cloth and wipe up any spilled oil.
7. Add new oil through the engine oil fill (C). See
the engine operator’s manual for specific oil
recommendations.
