Tool List Qty. Required

Clean the area around the oil filter and oil drain. Drain engine oil per
‘Changing the Oil’ and remove oil filter (Ref Fig. 28 on page 3-32).
Make sure the seal came off with filter and is not stuck to the engine.
Wipe around the sealing surface of filter mount with a clean, lint free
cloth. Lightly oil the seal on the new filter with fresh, clean oil. Screw fil-
ter on by hand until the seal contacts the filter mount. Tighten 1/2 to 3/4
turn more. Refill engine with new oil per ‘Changing the Oil’.
LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3)
pumps of grease in each grease
fitting at any one time. Excess grease may cause
grease seals to fail or grease migration into areas that
could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fitting could dam-
age grease seals and cause premature bearing failure (Ref Fig. 29 on
page 3-32).
