Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 50 hours
Every 100 hours
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine on a level surface.
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.
5. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the drain plug
and let the oil drain completely (Figure 40).
6. Remove the oil filler cap from the top of the engine
(Figure 42). This will help the oil to drain.
7. Install the drain plug and tighten it to 25-1/2 ft-lb
(35 N-m).
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a recycling center.
