Place the machine on level ground. Shut down the engine and Allow time for the oil to drain down into the
pan. Push the dipstick completely in and then pull the dipstick out. Inspect the dipstick. The oil level should
be at the maximum oil capacity. Operator's Manual, page 7-27, under Maintenance. Do not add any oil -
