MAINTENANCE Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers. Inspect the filter. Make sure the 'O' ring is not left on the engine surface. 5 Be careful of hot oil when drained. It may be hot enough to burn you severely Drain the oil by removing the drain plug found at the rear of the engine base. Remove using a 3/4" wrench. At the first oil change, small metal chips and lint may be found. This is normal, resulting from the break-in period. Inspect the filter at every oil change. The presence of large metal chips could indicate possible damage to the engine. Wipe the area around the drain plug mount with a lint free cloth and inspect the drain plug (A) for damage; replace if necessary. Replace the "O"-ring (B) with a new one and tighten to 61 in. lbs. (7.0 Nm) torque. Apply engine oil to the oil filter seal and install oil filter onto the engine until the seal contacts mounting surface of the engine. Then turn the filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotations by HAND(S). Pour in the specified type and amount of oil See "Capacity and Replacement Parts" chart on page 55. Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less than 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual oil left in engine. The oil must be high quality oil that meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards. Check oil level on dipstick. Oil should be slightly below 'H' to allow for expansion. If necessary, continue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick. Do not overfill. Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure. NOTICE Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will result in oil being discharged into the engine compartment 5 - 16
