CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
1. The “Dapco” oil drain valve is located on either side of the
engine crankcase (depending on the type of engine
installed on your ZTR).
2. Place a suitable container under the drain valve hose.
3. To drain, turn hex head valve stem counter-clockwise with
a 10mm wrench or socket. Open to full open
(approximately 7 turns).
4. After engine is drained, tighten hex stem.
5. Change oil filter.
6. Fill with oil (see steps below).
NOTE: Refer to engine manufacturer’s recommendations for
frequency of oil changes.
OIL FILL
1. Clean any spilled oil from engine and chassis.
2. Refill engine with type, and quantity of oil recommended
by the engine manufacturer in engine literature.
NOTE: Engine oil changes on the BLACK BEAR will require
replacement of the oil filter. These filters may be available
from your local Dixon Dealer.

HOT oil may cause burns. Allow engine to
cool before draining oil.
