Changing Air Cleaner Filter (Viscous paper
type)
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning
between renewals.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
lBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
lProlonged and repeated contact with used engine oil
may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
3. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.
Oil grade: API, SG or SH
Viscosity: See ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS'', MA-13.
Refill oil capacity (Approximately):

With oil filter change 3.9 (3-3/8) 4.1 (3-5/8)
Without oil filter change 3.5 (3-1/8) 3.7 (3-1/4)
CAUTION:
lBe sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
: 29 - 39 N´m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
lUse recommended engine oil.
lThe refill capacity changes depending on the oil tem-
perature and drain time, use these values as a reference
and be certain to check with the dipstick when changing
the oil.
4. Check oil level.
5. Start engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter
for oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes, check oil level.

Checking Exhaust System
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing
or deterioration.
Checking Clutch Fluid Level and Leaks
If fluid level is extremely low, check clutch system for leaks.
Checking Clutch System
Check fluid lines and operating cylinder for improper
connections, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.
Checking M/T Oil
Check for oil leakage and oil level.
Never start engine while checking oil level.
