Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
4. Clean around the oil dipstick (Figure 32) so
that dirt cannot fall into the filler hole and
damage the engine.
