Before Operating

CAUTION

machine, stop engine, set parking brake and remove
key from the switch. Any load material must be
removed from bed or other attachment before

support on extended lift cylinder to hold box up.
Check Engine Oil (Fig. 9–11)
The engine is shipped with approximately 3.3 l (3.5
qts.) (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.

1. Filler cap
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
11. 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.
