Help with changing blower and pump oil

[daniel@procarpet]

I change the engine oil every 100 hours. The pump was changed once at 500 hours.

I am due to change both and the engine coolant. I would just go to my supplier but they said not until next week. I have several big jobs this weekend and would like to do it myself mainly because I just want to know how to.

I guess I could wait, but I like to tinker.

What tools and accessories will I need?

I have a dual splash blower (EVEREST HP).

Couple wrenches for the drain plugs, a drain pan and the proper oil and filter to fill them back up with.
Oh, and a little common sense like which way to turn things.

make sure you know which orifice on the blower is the fill level.....
you'd be real surprised how many people DON'T!

I'll let my supplier do the scheduled maintenance Monday.

The Everest HP has poor access to the blower drain plugs...so I use a gear lube suction unit like you would use to put gear lube in a rear differential...and I suck the oil out of the blower...then when you fill it...hopefully with AEON synthetic oil...you just fill it to the center of the sight glass...that is the proper oil level in the blower.

i fill mine with a turkey baster............
