Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury, wear
rubber gloves to protect
skin from exposure to hot, used oil and degreaser.
These fluids contain chemicals known to cause can-
cer.
The oil should be changed with the engine warm. Park the vehi-
cle on a level surface, engage the park brake and remove the
key. Place a drain pan under the engine. Wipe the top of the
engine clean with a cloth (Ref. Fig. 18 on page 15). Remove the
oil fill cap.
Clean the area around the filter. Oil drainage is accom-
plished by removing the three bolts securing the oil filter
to the engine. Remove the filter by pulling it from the
engine and allow the oil to drain. The ‘O’ rings may
remain on the engine or the filter (Ref. Fig. 19 on page
15).
At each oil change, thoroughly inspect filter before clean-
ing. At the first oil change, metal chips and lint may be
found. This is normal, resulting from engine run-in. At
subsequent oil changes, the presence of metal chips
may indicate possible engine damage.
Wear eye protection to reduce the possi-
bility of splashed solvent contacting the
eyes when cleaning oil filter.
Clean the filter by washing in any shop degreaser and
brushing the metal screen clean with a soft brush (Ref.
Fig. 20 on page 15).
Blow out the filter with low pressure air 30 psi (210 kPa)
or less from no closer than 3" (8 cm) and allow to air dry
(Ref. Fig. 21 on page 16).
Wipe the area around the filter mount with a clean, lint
free cloth and inspect both filter ‘O’ rings for damage;
replace if necessary. Install the filter into the engine. The
filter engages over a short nipple in the engine. The filter
should slide easily onto the nipple and seat against the
engine using light hand pressure only. Align the holes in
the filter mounting plate with the holes in the engine.
Install and hand tighten the bolts before tightening them
firmly.
