Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
4. Clean around the oil dipstick (Figure 37) so
that dirt cannot fall into the filler hole and
damage the engine.

5. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the end
clean (Figure 37).
6. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube,
but do not thread onto tube (Figure 37).
7. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end.
If the 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 and run the engine; engine damage
can result.
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.
3. Disengage the PTO 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. Slide the drain hose over the oil drain valve.
