Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO) and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 33) so dirt cannot
fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
3. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 33).
4. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, do not
thread onto tube (Fig. 33). Pull the dipstick out and look
at the metal end. If oil level is low, slowly pour only
enough oil into the filler tube to raise the level to the
full mark.
Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because the engine may be damaged.

Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run five minutes. This warms
the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly lower
than the opposite side to assure the oil drains
completely. Then disengage the power take off (PTO)
and set the parking brake.
3. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the oil drain
plug (Fig. 34).
4. When oil has drained completely, install the oil drain
plug.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling center.
