to raise the level to the Full mark.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
and run the engine; engine damage can result.
Changing the Oil

the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly lower
than the opposite side to ensure that the oil drains
completely.
3. Lower the boom and set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
5. Place a pan below the drain hose.
Note: Rotate the oil drain valve to allow oil to drain
(Figure 36).
