Checking Oil Level
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key to "OFF" to stop the
engine. Remove the key.
2.
Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 16) so dirt
cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the
engine.
3.
Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean (Fig. 16).
4.
Screw dipstick fully into filler neck; then remove
it and check oil level on dipstick. If level is low,
add only enough oil to raise level to FULL mark.
Do not overfill or engine damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil because the engine may be damaged.
