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. Then disengage the power take off (PTO)

and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the key.

3. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the oil drain

cap (Fig. 21).

4. When oil has drained completely, install the oil drain

cap.

Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling center.
