Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING! If the engine has been recently run, the
engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will
be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
NOTE: The oil filter should be changed at every oil change interval.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The 
oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
Locate the oil drain port on the right side of the engine.2.
