Engine Oil and Filter - Change

SMCS - 1318-510

Park the machine on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Stop the engine.

Note: Drain the crankcase while the oil is warm. This allows waste particles that are suspended in the oil to
drain. As the oil cools, the waste particles will settle to the bottom of the crankcase. The particles will not be
removed by draining the oil and the particles will recirculate in the engine lubrication system with the new
oil.
