Removing and Replacing the Engine Oil and Filter (Pro and Pro-XL Models)
Note: Drain the oil when the Engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
Tools and Supplies Needed:

Oil Filter Wrench (obtainable from a local auto parts or hardware store)

Rags and a suitable container for used oil
 SAE 30 High Detergent Oil
1. Attach the Plastic Hose (provided in product package) to the Quick Release Oil Drain Valve located on the side of the Engine
(Figure 28). Turn the Valve counterclockwise and pull out to drain the oil into a suitable oil receptacle.
2. The Engine Oil Filter is located on the side of the Engine. Using an Oil Filter Wrench, or grasping the Oil Filter firmly with your
hand, unscrew the Oil Filter counterclockwise from the Engine. BE SURE THAT THE OLD FILTER GASKET COMES OFF
WITH THE FILTER.
3. Wipe the mounting base for the Oil Filter with a clean cloth.
4. Apply a thin coat of clean motor oil to the new Oil Filter Gasket. DO NOT USE GREASE OR USED OIL.
5. Line up the threads carefully to avoid cross threading and screw the new Oil Filter on until the Filter Gasket contacts the base,
and then tighten the Oil Filter 3/4 to 1 turn. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
6. Close the Oil Drain Valve and replace the oil by following the instructions on page 10.
7. Reattach the Spark Plug wire(s).
Note: Be sure to use environmentally safe disposal procedures in the disposing of the used oil.
