Checking Oil Level
1.
Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine. Move
controllers to neutral locked position and apply
parking brake. Remove the key.
2.
Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 27) so dirt
cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the
engine.
3.
Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean (Fig. 27).
4.
Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, but
do not thread onto tube (Fig. 27). 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/Draining 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. Disengage the power take off
(PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the
ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine.
Remove the key.
3.
Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the oil
drain cap (Fig. 28).
4.
When oil has drained completely, install the
drain cap.
Note:
Dispose of the used oil at a certified
recycling center.

5.
Slowly pour approximately 80% of the specified
amount of oil specified, page 36, into the filler
tube (Fig. 27). Now check the oil level; refer to
Checking Oil Level, page 37. Slowly add
additional oil to bring to "FULL" mark on
dipstick.
