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 and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
4. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 30) so dirt cannot
fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
5. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 30).
6. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, do not
thread onto 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.

Changing the Engine Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run five minutes. This warms
the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly lower
than the opposite side to assure the oil drains
completely.
3. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
5. Slide the drain hose over the oil drain valve.
6. Place a pan below the drain hose. Rotate oil drain valve
to allow oil to drain (Fig. 31).
7. When oil has drained completely, close the drain valve.
8. Remove the drain hose (Fig. 31).
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a recycling center.

10. Clean around the oil dipstick and unscrew the cap
(Fig. 30).
11. Slowly pour approximately 80% of the specified oil into
the filler tube (Fig. 30). Refer to Servicing the Engine
Oil, page 27.
12. Check the oil level; refer to Checking the Oil Level,
page 28.
13. Slowly add additional oil to bring it to the full mark.
Changing the Engine Oil Filter
Service Interval/Specification
Replace the oil filter every 200 hours or every other oil
change.
Note: Change oil filter more frequently when operating
conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
