Before Operating

Caution
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop engine, set parking brake and
remove key from the switch. Any load material
must be removed from bed or other attachment
before working under raised bed. Never work
under a raised bed without positioning safety
support on a fully installed cylinder rod.

Check Crankcase Oil

The engine is shipped with approximately 3.5 quarts
(w/ filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, level of oil must
be checked before and after the engine is first started.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert
dipstick into tube and make sure it is seated fully.
Remove dipstick and check level of oil.

3. The engine uses any high-quality 10W30 detergent oil
having the American Petroleum Institute -API- "service
classification" CF or better.
4. If oil level is low, remove filler cap and add enough oil
to raise level to FULL mark on dipstick.

Note: When adding oil, remove dipstick to allow proper
venting, pour oil slowly and check the level often during
this process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Important When adding engine oil or filling oil, there
must be clearance between the oil fill device and the oil fill
hole in the valve cover as shown in figure 14. This
clearance is necessary to permit venting when filling, which
prevents oil from overrunning into breather.

5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Important Check level of oil every 8 operating hours
or daily. Change oil and filter initially after the first 50
hours of operation, thereafter, change oil and filter
every 100 hours. However, change oil more frequently
when engine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty
conditions.
Note: After filling or changing oil, start and run the engine
at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30 seconds and
check oil level. Add enough oil to raise level to FULL mark
on dipstick.
