Changing the Engine Oil And Filter

Service Interval: After the first 50 hours
Every 150 hours
Change the oil and filter initially after first 50 hours of
operation and then every 150 hours of operation thereafter. If
possible, run the engine just before changing the oil because
warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants than
cold oil.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Open the hood.
3. Set a drain pan under the oil pan and in line with the
drain plug (Figure 61).
