Section 6

Lubrication System

NOTE: To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,

always maintain the proper oil level in the

crankcase. Never operate the engine with the

oil level below the ‘‘L” mark or above the ‘‘F”

mark on the dipstick.

Changing Oil and Oil Filter

Changing Oil

Change the oil after every 100 hours of operation (more

frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service

class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the

“Viscosity Grades” table on page 6.1.

Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will

flow more freely and carry away more impurities. Make

sure the engine is level when filling or checking oil.

Change the oil as follows:

1. Clean the areas around one of the oil drain plugs,

oil fill cap, and dipstick.

2. Remove one of the oil drain plugs. A drain plug is

located on either side of the crankcase; one is

adjacent to and below the oil filter, the other is

below the starter. See Figure 6-4.

Figure 6-4. Location of Oil Drains.

Checking Oil Level

The importance of checking and maintaining the

proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be

overemphasized. Check oil BEFORE EACH USE as

follows:

1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level and is cool

so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.

2. Clean the area around the dipstick before removing

it. This will help to keep dirt, grass clippings, etc.,

out of the engine.

3. Remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the

dipstick into the tube until fully seated. See Figure

6-2.

4. Remove dipstick and check oil level. The level

should be between the ‘‘F’’ and ‘‘L’’ marks. If low,

add oil of the proper type up to the "F" mark.

Reinstall oil fill cap and dipstick.
