I ordered an owners manual for my LT160. Well after waiting a month they finally told me it arrived yestersday. I go to the dealer to pick it up only to find out they lost it in the store somewhere and now have to order another.

So I don't want to wait for another month to find out how to do basic maintenance on my LT160.

Can you guys give me some advice? Here is what I would like to know:

1. I assume the oil drain plug is the bolt on the bottom where the hole in the belly shield is?

2. Is the place the oil filter goes on the lower right side of the engine in a little cyclinder that sticks off the side that is a little larger than a D cell battery?

3. The Oil filler hole says 10W40 on it so I assume that is what I use and any kind will do?

4. How much oil does it take to fill it to the proper level (capacity)?

Also:

5. I bought a Uni air filter for it. I have not tried to open the box where the air filter goes to change it.
Is it pretty obvious to a first time novice how to change the air filter (like a car) or are there any special things I need to know?

6. I bought an in-line fuel filter. Is there already one stock on the machine that I can swap out or do you have to cut the fuel line?

7. What is the proper chain slack where you check it in the middle by lifting it up and down?

Thanks!!!

that is a site for a ltf 160 thats what I think you have it looks like a ute if aI am correct look on the side of the engine for a thing with 3 bolts on it and I believe one in the middle and that is where the oil filter is...make sure you put it back the way it came out and the drain plug is underneath...just use the dipstick to let you know how much oil you will need let the engine warm up before changing the oil so that all the particles and oil come out...on the dipstick there should be crosses telling you when it is full...for the airfilter I would rejet since you have a carb and will be messing with the airfuel mixture going to the engine and will be running lean but just check your plug if you decide not to and make sure there isn't a white tip on it. the slack in the chain should be about 3/8' to 7/8'

 

Thanks for the info.
And the site link.
