MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO USED ENGINE OIL IS DANGEROUS,
ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING USED
ENGINE OIL.
1. Unscrew and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
2. Place a oil collection tray under the drain plug.
3. Unscrew the drain plug, and allow the used engine oil to drain from the
crankcase into the oil collection tray.
NOTE: Drain the engine oil when the engine is warm, this will ensure the
oil flows out quicker.
4. Replace the drain plug and its seal ring.
5. Fill the crankcase with engine oil to the ‘H’ mark on the dipstick. See
page 9.
6. Replace the oil filler cap/dipstick.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
One of the most damaging sources of pollution is oil, do not throw away used
engine oil in with your domestic trash or down drains and sinks. Place it in a
leak proof container and take it to your local waste disposal site.
