CHANGING THE OIL
See Figures 15 - 16.
Replace the oil after the first 100 hours of operation and
every 300 hours following the first oil change.
NOTE: Though not necessary, you may find it helpful to
remove the wheel from the unit to easily access the oil
drain.
To remove the wheel for draining the oil:
n Be sure the unit is sitting on a level surface to ensure
proper drainage. It is advisable to place a prop, such as
a brick or wood block, underneath the frame of the unit
to keep it level once the wheel is removed.
n With a wrench, loosen the hex head bolt. Remove the
bolt.
n Remove the wheel, spacer, and hex nut.
To drain and replace the oil without removing the
wheel:
n Place a suitable container underneath the drain to collect
used oil.
n Remove the drain plug with a 3/16 in. hex key.
n When the used oil has drained, reinstall the drain plug
and tighten with the wrench.
n Remove the dipstick.
n To refill, use a funnel to pour oil into the fill hole. Refill
only with synthetic oil SAE 5W40.
NOTE: Avoid refilling with too much oil. Ensure that the
level of the oil does not exceed the maximum reference
level on the dipstick. The recommended amount of oil for
refilling is 6 oz. (170g).
n Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
n If the wheel was removed, reinstall the wheel, spacer, and
hex nut. Tighten the hex nut securely with the wrench.
Do not overtighten.
