Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking
brake, and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the
key.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 30) so dirt cannot
fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
4. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 30).
5. Thread the oil dipstick fully onto the filler tube
(Fig. 30). Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal
end. If oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil
into the filler tube to raise the level to the full mark.
Important
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because the engine may be damaged.
