ENGINE

Checking the engine oil level
NOTE: Check the engine oil level daily, or after
every 10 hours of operation.
1. After the engine has been stopped for a
period of time, and with the tractor standing
level, check the oil level using the dipstick (1)
in Figure 3-3.
2. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap (2)
in Figure 3-4, and add oil through the filler
hole. Add enough oil so that the level
registers between the two marks on the
dipstick. Do not overfill.

Changing the Engine Oil

NOTE: Change the engine oil and filter after the
first 50 hours of operation, then every 100 hours
thereafter. If the tractor is operated for extended
periods of time at maximum rated power and
speed, or under other types of continuous, severe
operating conditions, the engine oil and filter
should be changed at 70-hour Intervals following
the initial oil change.
To change the engine oil:
1. Place a suitable container beneath the drain
opening to catch the used oil. With the tractor
engine off but
temperature, remove the drain plugs (3) in
Figure 3-5. Reinstall the plugs after all of the
oil has been drained.
NOTE: Remove both drain plugs to properly drain
all oil.
CAUTION
Engine oil could be hot, use caution during
draining.
