Engine Oil Change
NOTE: Change the engine oil when the engine is warm. Refer
to the engine owner’s manual for the correct replacement oil
and filter change recommendations.
WARNING! The engine drain plug is located close to
the muffler. To prevent burns, the engine should be shut off
and allowed to cool slightly so the engine is still warm but
the surrounding surfaces and oil are not.
1. Park on a level surface. Apply park prake.
2. Clean the dirt and debris from the area around the oil fill
cap.
3. Remove the cap/dipstick.

the bypass linkage. Place an adequately sized container
under the end of the drain hose and remove the oil drain
plug.
5. Allow the oil to fully drain from the engine.
6. Replace the drain hose plug and tighten securely.
7. Fill the engine with new oil to the bottom of the fill tube
threads. Check the level with the dipstick.
8. Replace the oil fill cap securely when the oil level is FULL.
