Changing/Draining the Engine Oil
1.
Start the engine and let it run for five minutes.
This warms the oil so it drains better.
2.
Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to assure the oil
drains completely. Then disengage the power
take off (PTO), set the parking brake, lower the
attachment lift, and turn the ignition key to
"STOP" to stop the engine. Remove the key.
3.
Open the hood.

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Components under the hood will be hot if
the tractor has been running.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Touching hot components can cause burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Allow the tractor to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components
under the hood.
4.
Place a pan below the oil drain. Open the drain
by turning it counterclockwise 1/8 turn and
pulling out on it (Fig. 25).
5.
When the oil has drained completely, close the
drain by pushing it in and turning it clockwise,
1/8 turn.
Note:
Dispose of the used oil at a certified
recycling center.
6.
Slowly pour approximately 80% of the specified
amount of oil into the oil filler tube (Fig. 27).
Now check the oil level; refer to Checking the
Engine Oil Level, page 11. Slowly add
additional oil to bring the oil level to the FULL
mark on the dipstick.
