Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Every 100 hours (more often in dirty or dusty
conditions).
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a recycling center.
1. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes.
Note: This warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the rear is slightly lower than
the front to ensure that the oil drains completely.
3. Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to
the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position (Figure 50).
