Before we start,  make sure to get a copy of the owner’s manual which you can download at www.sonnysdirect.com and review all the safety information related to this procedure.  


Gather the tools and supplies you’ll need which are:  

  • Safety Glasses.
  • Standard Combo Wrenches.
  • Oil pan.

Once you have everything ready the first thing you need to do is: 

  1. Daily, Check the oil level and the condition of the oil.
  2. Change the oil every 2000 or 3000 Hrs. of operation.
  3. When changing the oil, remove the red fill cap on top of the pump and the drain plug cap at the bottom of the pump, so all oil and accumulated sediment will drain out.
  4. When no more oil is coming out, Install the plug at the bottom of the pump back.
  5. Fill the pump back with the appropriate oil, Hydra-cell 10w 30.
  6. The oil level Should be ¼ in (6.mm) above the cast surface in the crankcase   Reservoir
