4.1.4 Checking and Adding Engine Oil

The engine oil level will need to be inspected before the engine can be operated. It may be necessary to add oil to the
crankcase.
Checking engine oil level
1. Locate engine oil dipstick (A) on the right side of the
windrower. Turn the dipstick counterclockwise to unlock it.
Remove the dipstick.
2. Wipe the dipstick clean. Reinsert the dipstick it into the
dipstick tube.
3. Remove the dipstick again. Check the oil level. The oil level
should be between the LOW (L) and HIGH (H) marks on the
dipstick. If the oil level is below the LOW mark, oil will need
to be added to the crankcase.
NOTE:
Adding 1.9 liters (2 U.S. quarts) of engine oil will raise the
level from LOW to HIGH.
4. Replace the dipstick. Turn the dipstick clockwise to lock it.
