Simplicity 1693130 - Manual (Page 25)

4. Allow the filter to drain until all water and debris have
drained out.
5. Turn the base of the filter back to close the fuel filter valve
when finished draining.
OIL & FILTER CHANGE
Refer to Figure 21, 23 & 24 for oil filter and dipstick loca-
tions.
To drain the oil:
1. Place a drain pan below the engine oil pan.
2. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the engine to
completely drain.
3. Remove and replace the oil filter.
4. Reinstall the oil drain plug.
5. Refill the engine oil. See the engine owners manual
for oil recommendations.
CHECK / CHANGE AIR FILTER
Refer to the engine manual for specific air filter service
procedures. Refer to Figures 21 and 24 for air filter loca-
tions.
INSPECT & REPLACE SPARK PLUGS
Refer to the engine manual for specific spark plug
replacement procedures. Refer to Figures 22-23 for
spark plug locations.
CHECK ANTIFREEZE LEVEL
(LIQUID COOLED MODELS ONLY)
The engine coolant level and quality should be checked
before each use, when the engine is off and cool.
1. Check the coolant level in the overflow reservoir (C,
Figure 23, & F, Figure 24,). Coolant should be
between the “H” and “L” marks on the tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the “L” mark on the over-
flow reservoir, add coolant by shutting off the engine,
allowing the engine to cool, removing the reservoir
cap, and adding coolant. Proper coolant mix is a
50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and distilled water.
