Before Operating
Check the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with 4 qt (3.8 l) of oil in the
crankcase; however, check the oil level before and
after you first start the engine.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, stop the
engine and remove the key from the ignition
switch. Open the hood.
2.
Remove the dipstick (Fig. 2), wipe it clean and
reinstall it. Remove it again and check the oil
level. The level should be up to the FULL mark
on the dipstick

3.
If the oil is below the FULL mark, remove the fill
cap and add SAE 10W-30 CD, CE, CF, CF-4 or
CG-4 classification oil until the level reaches the
FULL mark on the dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
4.
Install the oil fill cap and close the hood.
Check the Cooling System
Clean debris from the screen and radiator/oil cooler
daily, more often if conditions are extremely dusty
and dirty; refer to Engine Cooling System.
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze.
Check the level of coolant in the expansion tank at the
beginning of each day before you start the engine.
Cooling system capacity is 7 quarts (6.6 l).
