Checking the Engine Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note: Check the oil when the engine is cold.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. 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 42) so dirt
cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
4. Pull the oil dipstick out and wipe the metal end clean
(Figure 42).
5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube. Pull the
dipstick out and look at the metal end (Figure 42). If
the oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into
the fill hole to raise the level to the full mark.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with
oil because this may cause engine damage. Do
not run the engine with oil below the low mark
because the engine may be damaged as a result.
