ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE
Engine oil and oil filter should be changed after the first 100 hours of operation. After that, they should be
changed every 200 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
1. Turn the key switch to the OFF position then remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position. Chock the front wheels.
2. Access the engine compartment. See WARNING “For vehicles with cargo beds...” on page 10.
3. Tilt the bed and ensure that the prop rod is properly engaged.
4. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally start-
ing...” on page 12.
5. Position a pan designed for oil changes under the front drain plug (Figure 18).
6. Use a 14 mm socket or wrench to remove the drain plug, turning it counterclockwise, and allow the
engine oil to drain into the pan.
ý WARNING
• Do not attempt to change engine oil when the engine is hot or even warm. Engine oil can
cause skin burns.
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear rubber
gloves when handling oil drain plug, oil filter, and oil drain pan.
7. Clean the oil drain plug threads with solvent to remove oil and oil residue. Make sure that the compres-
sion washer remains on the drain plug.
