Checking the Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface and
disengage the blade control (PTO).
2. Move the motion control levers to the brake
position, stop the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving
the operating position.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Figure 24) so
that dirt cannot fall into the fill hole and
damage the engine.
