or exceeds the requirement for API service
classification SH, SJ, or equivalent.

Drain the pump oil when the pump is warm.
Warm oil drains quickly and completely.

to catch the used oil.
2. Remove the oil fill cap, the oil drain plug
and washer.
3. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then
reinstall the drain plug and washer. Tighten
the drain plug securely.
Please dispose of used oil in a manner that
is compatible with the environment. We
suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center. Do
not throw it in a trash or pour it on the ground
or down a drain.
4. With the pump in a level position, fill in
0.350 liters (11.84 Fl.oz) of recommended

Running the pump with a low oil level can
cause pump damage.
