870 Maintenance

I always complained about the location of the drain on the pump. Maybe it says in the manual i didn't read but if you loosen the nut on the drain hose at the pump the hose will swivel without leaking. you can run it right out the front, which is where it should be.

I just suck all the fluids out with my vacuum sucker I got from Harbor Freight. Get one. It will remove a lot of the messy hassle of fluid changes out of your life.
