Changing The Oil - MTD Yard-Man YM141 Manual Del Operador

NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug/dipstick
when checking and changing the oil (Fig. 16).

CHANGING THE OIL

For a new engine, change the oil after the first 10 hours of
operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will
flow freely and carry away more impurities.
1. Unplug spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.
2. Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick.
3. Pour the oil out of the oil fill hole and into a container by
tipping the unit to a vertical position (Fig. 17). Allow ample
time for complete drainage.
4. Wipe up any oil residue on the unit and clean up any oil
that may have spilled. Dispose of the oil according to
Federal, State and local regulations.
5. Refill the crankcase with 3.04 fluid ounce (90 ml) of SAE 30
SF, SG, SH oil.
