1. Warm engine by running for a few minutes. (Refer to the
engine operator's manual for oil and filter replacement
instructions.)
2. Remove the oil drain hose (C) from its storage position and
route the hose so that when the oil drain cap is removed
the oil can be drained into a small pan.
3. Place a small pan under the oil drain hose to catch the oil.
Using the appropriate tools, remove the oil drain cap from
the oil drain hose and drain the engine oil.

Reinstall the oil drain hose to its storage position so it is
retained during normal operation.

(D). Remove the engine oil filter and replace with a new
one.
6. Add engine oil (refer to engine operator's manual) in the fill
tube (E) and check the amount of oil in the engine using
the engine oil dipstick (F).

up to the "FULL COLD" mark (B). If the oil is below this
level, proceed to step #3.
3. Before removing the tank caps (C), make sure the area
around the tank cap and fill neck of the tank is free of dust,
dirt, or other debris. Remove the tank cap.
4. Add oil up to the full cold mark.
5. Reinstall the tank caps.
6. After adding oil to the tanks, it may be necessary to purge
air from the hydraulic system. If the unit is not driving
properly perform the Purging the Air from the Hydraulic
System procedure.
