BReplacing the oil filter cartridge
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine before
changing the oil filter cartridge.
A Allow engine
sufficiently, oil can be hot and cause
burns.
1. Replace the oil filter cartridge after the initial 50 hours
of operation and every 200 hours thereafter.
2. Remove the old oil filter cartridge with a filter wrench.
3. Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the new cartridge.
4. Screw in the cartridge by hand. When the gasket
contacts the seal surface, tighten the cartridge enough
by hand. Because, if you tighten the cartridge with a
wrench, it will be tightened too much.

5. After the new cartridge has been replaced, the engine
oil level normally decreases a little. Thus, run the
engine for a while and check for oil leaks through the
seal before checking the engine oil level. Add oil if
necessary.
A Wipe off any oil sticking to the machine completely.
