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

. 

Fig. 21  Remove Oil Filter

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

possibility of splashed solvent con-

tacting the eyes when cleaning oil fil-

ter.

Clean the filter by washing in any shop degreaser and

brushing the metal screen clean with a soft brush (Ref

Fig. 22 on page 17).

Fig. 22  Clean Oil Filter

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. 23 on page 17).

. 

Fig. 23  Blowing Out Oil Filter

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.

Add slightly less than 1 1/2 quarts (1.4 liters) to allow for

possible residual oil left in engine (Ref Fig. 24 on page

17). The oil must be high quality oil that meets or

exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards (Ref Fig. 37 on page

23). Check oil level on dipstick. 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.

Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operat-

ing the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will 

result in oil being discharged into the engine compartment.

Fig. 24  Add Engine Oil

Inspect oil fill cap ‘O’ ring and replace if necessary. Install

the oil fill cap. Run the vehicle for one or two minutes and

check the filter for oil leaks. 

Check the oil level again with the vehicle on level ground.

Oil should be added to bring the level into the safe oper-

ating range. Do not overfill. The engine can be operated

safely as long as the oil is within the safe operating range

as indicated on the dipstick. Do not operate vehicle if

oil level is below the safe area indicated on the dip-

stick.
