Changing The Engine Oil And Filter; General Air Cleaner Maintenance; Servicing The Air Cleaner - Toro 09802 HydroJect 3010 Operator's Manual

Changing the Engine Oil and
Filter
For new engines, change the oil after the first 50 operating
hours. Thereafter, under normal conditions, change the oil
and the filter after every 100 hours of operation. However,
an engine operated in dusty or dirty conditions requires
more frequent oil changes. If possible, run the engine just
before changing the oil. Warm oil flows more freely and
carries more contaminants than cold oil.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
3. Place an oil drain pan below the drain hose on the side
of the crankcase (Fig. 20).
4. Rotate the drain valve counter–clockwise and allow the
oil to flow into a drain pan. After the oil has drained,
rotate the oil drain valve clockwise.
5. Remove the oil filter (Fig. 20) and discard it.
Thoroughly clean the filter mounting surface and make
sure that a new gasket is installed in the new filter.

6. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket. Install a
new filter by hand until the gasket just touches the
mounting surface, then turn the filter an additional 1/2
to 3/4 turn.
7. Remove the filler cap (Fig. 21) and pour approximately
2 quarts of oil into the filler neck.

8. Start the engine and check for leaks around the oil filter.
Tighten the filter only enough to eliminate leaks. Do
not overtighten.
9. Turn off the engine and allow the machine to stand for 2
minutes.
10. Check the oil and make sure that the level is up to the
FULL mark on the dipstick. Add more oil if the level is
low; however, do not overfill.
11. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
General Air Cleaner
Maintenance
• Check the air cleaner body for damage which could
cause an air leak. Replace if damaged. Check the whole
intake system for leaks, damage or loose hose clamps.
• Service the air cleaner filter every 200 hours or earlier if
engine performance suffers due to extremely dusty,
dirty conditions. Changing the air filter before it is
necessary only increases the chance of dirt entering the
engine when the filter is removed.
• Be sure the cover is seated correctly and seals with the
air cleaner body.

Servicing the Air Cleaner

The primary air cleaner element must be checked and/or
replaced after every 200 hours of engine operation.
However, the air cleaner must be cleaned more frequently if
operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
