Replace the oil filter as follows:

1. Drain the oil from the engine crankcase.

2. Allow the oil filter to drain.

3. Before removing the oil filter, clean the area

around the oil filter to keep dirt and debris out of

the engine. Remove the old filter. Wipe off the

surface where the filter mounts. See Figure 8.

4. Place a new replacement filter in a shallow pan

with the open end up. Pour new oil, of the proper

type, in through the threaded center hole. Stop

pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of the

threads. Allow a minute or two for the oil to be

absorbed by the filter material.

5. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the rubber gasket

on the new filter.

6. Install the new oil filter to the filter adapter or oil

cooler. Turn the oil filter clockwise until the

rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter or oil

cooler, then tighten the filter an additional 3/4 to

1 turn.

7. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened

to 13.6 N·m (10 ft. lb.) torque.

8. Fill the crankcase with new oil, of the proper

type, to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.

9. Test run the engine to check for leaks. Stop the

engine, allow a minute for the oil to drain down,

and recheck the level on the dipstick. Make sure

oil level is up to but not over the "FULL" mark on

the dipstick.

Service Precleaner and Air Cleaner Element

These engines are equipped with a replaceable, high

density paper air cleaner element. Most engines are

also equipped with an oiled, foam precleaner which

surrounds the paper element. See Figures 12 and 13.

Some engines use a heavy-duty air cleaner system. See

Figure 15.

Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the

engine. Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around

the air cleaner system. Keep this area clean. Also check

for loose or damaged components. Replace all bent or

damaged air cleaner components.

NOTE: Operating the engine with loose or damaged

air cleaner components could allow

unfiltered air into the engine causing

premature wear

and failure.
