CHANGE ENGINE OIL & FILTER
1. Warm the engine by running for a few minutes.
(Refer to the engine operator's manual for oil &
filter replacement instructions)
2. The oil drain hose (A, Figure 28) is located on the
left side of the engine. Remove the oil drain hose
from its storage position and re-position the oil
drain hose over the side of the engine deck and
place a small pan beneath it to catch the old
engine oil.

from the oil drain tube.
4. After draining, replace the cap and wipe up any
spilled oil. Reinstall the oil drain hose into the
storage position (route around to the front of the
engine) to retain the hose during normal operation.
5. Place an absorbent shop cloth under the engine oil
filter (B). Remove the oil filter and discard.
6. Using a drop of oil (see the engine operator's
manual for oil recommendations) on your finger tip,
wet the rubber gasket on the bottom of the new
filter.
,Turn the filter clockwise until the rubber gasket
meets the filter base. Then turn 1/2" to 3/4" of a
turn more.
8. Add engine oil (Refer to the engine operator's
manual for oil filling instructions.)
9. Remove the shop cloth and wipe up any spilled oil.
