Oil change

Oil should be changed for the first time after 2 hours,
then at least 1 time per year.
You will need an oil extractor kit. Tex Parts: 40-11336
Oil and oil extractor kit is not included
Use an extractor kit and do as follows:
1. Turn on the engine and let it run for 5 min or
until the engine is hot. A hot engine liquefies
the oil which makes it easier to drain.
2. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using
the syringe that came with the oil extractor kit.
Use the hose to reach the sump.
3. Transfer the used oil into a empty container.
4. Fill the engine with SAE-30 oil.
5. Check the oil level using the dipstick. (Min /
Max)
Remember to dispose the used oil so that it does
no harm to nature.Use your local recycling station.
