Change the Oil and Filters
Hot oil or components can cause burns if they contact skin. Use caution when draining oil or changing filters.
1. Loosen crankcase drain plug (1). Allow the oil to drain into a receptacle placed under the drain tube inboard of the right fuel tank. 2. Remove filter element (2) with a strap-type wrench and discard. Refer to Filter Inspection in the When Required section.3. Clean the filter housing base. Make sure the old filter gasket is removed.4. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the gasket of the new filter.5. Install the new filter by hand. When the gasket contacts the filter base, tighten the filter three-quarters of a turn more.6. Tighten crankcase drain plug (1). 7. Remove oil fill plug (3). Fill the crankcase with new oil. See the Lubricant Viscosities and Refill Capacities. Clean and install oil fill plug (3).8. Start the engine and allow the oil to warm. Check for leaks.9. Stop the engine.10. Wait 10 minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the crankcase. Check the oil level. With the engine stopped, maintain the oil level between the "L" and the "F" marks on the ENGINE STOPPED side of dipstick (4).With the engine running, maintain the oil level between the "L" and the "F" marks on the LOW IDLE side of dipstick (4).Engine Valve Lash
Adjust
Adjust valve lash on new and reconditioned engines at first oil change and then every 2000 service hours. See, "Every 2000 Service Hours or 1 Year".Belts
Inspect Fan and Alternator Belts
For maximum engine performance and utilization of your engine, inspect the belts for wear and cracking. Check and adjust the belt tension to minimize belt slippage which will decrease belt life and cause poor performance of alternator and any driven equipment.1. Inspect the condition of the belts.2. Inspect the tension of the alternator belt. To check the alternator and fan belt tension, apply a 110 N (25 lb) force midway between the pulleys. Correctly adjusted belts will deflect 10 to 15 mm (.4 to .6 in).If new belt(s) are installed, check belt adjustment again, after 30 minutes of operation. For multiple belt drive applications, always replace belts in matched sets.If only one belt of a matched set is replaced, it will carry more of a load than the belts not replaced since the older belts
