To avoid engine damage, it is important to:

•  Check oil level before each use and every 5 

operating hours when engine is warm.

•  Change oil after first 2 operating hours and every 3 

months or every 25 operating hours thereafter; 
more often if operated in extremely dusty or dirty 
conditions. Engine should still be warm but not hot 
from recent use. 

1. Be sure you find the correct drain plug location, if pro-

vided. See Figure 38.

2. Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from 

spark plug. See "G. Avoid Accidental Starts" instruc-
tions on page 3. See Figure 36.

•  Keep the disconnected spark plug wire securely 

away from metal parts where arcing could occur. 

•  Attach the spark plug wire to the grounding post, if 

provided. See Figure 37.

3. Be sure the gas cap is on and is tightened securely.

4. Clean area around oil drain plug. 

5. Place approved recyclable oil container under oil drain 

plug, tipping engine to position the oil drain plug at the 
lowest point on the engine.

6. Remove oil drain plug and drain oil. 

Used oil must be disposed of at a proper 
collection center.
7. Install oil drain plug and tighten 

securely.

8. Fill with recommended oil.

 

See "III. Oil and Fuel Speci-

fications" instructions on page 5. See Table 1 and see 
Table 2 on page 5. See Figure 39.

9. Wipe away any spilled oil.

10. Carefully disconnect spark plug wire from grounding 

post, if provided. See Figure 37.

11. Carefully re-connect spark plug wire to spark plug. See
