NOTICE
If a light (lamp) replacement is required, allow light to
cool for about 30 minutes before removing lamp. DO
touch light with your hands.
The oil and perspiration from one fingerprint may cause
the lamp to fail prematurely. ALWAYS use a clean dry
cloth for cleaning or handling lamps
Allow engine to cool when flushing out
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot will
damage radiator. In addition, the possibility
of hot coolant exists which can cause
severe burns.
1. Using a filter wrench, turn filter cartridge (Figure 27)
to the left to remove it. If the filter cartridge is filled
with a large amount of oil, wait 10 minutes or so
before removing. Make sure there is no old gasket
stuck on the filter holder.

2. Tighten drain plug. Clean the filter holder, fill the new
filter cartridge with clean engine oil, coat the packing
and thread of the new filter cartridge with engine
oil, then install it to the filter holder. Tighten until the
gasket surface contacts the seal surface of the filter
holder, then tighten it a further 3/4 to 1 turn.
3. Add engine oil through oil filler until the oil level is
between the H and L marks on the dipstick.
4. Run the engine at idling for a short time, then stop
the engine. Recheck the oil level and fill as necessary.
Visually examine the V-belt (Figure 28) and determine if it
is full of tiny cracks, frayed, has pieces of rubber missing,
is peeling or otherwise damaged.
Also, examine the belt and determine if it is oil soaked
or "glazed " (hard shiny appearance on the sides of the
belt). Either of these two conditions can cause the belt
to run hot, which can weaken it and increase the danger
of it breaking.
If the V-belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions
replace the V-belt immediately.
