5. When oil has drained, replace brass fitting on hose.
6. Add the required amount of oil to bring the level up to,
but not over the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. Reinstall
the oil filler cap to valve rocker arm cover and wipe
any excess oil clean.

To make the task of adding oil more convenient, we
recommend use of a funnel attached to a length of tubing long
enough to reach from the Coolant Fill door to the oil fill opening
on the engine valve cover.
When inspecting the belts, check for:
• Cracks
• Chunking of the belt
• Splits
• Material hanging loose from the belt
• Glazing, hardening
If any of these conditions exist, the belt should be replaced.
