Changing/Draining the Engine Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for 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), set the parking brake, and turn
the ignition key to "STOP" to stop the engine.
Remove the ignition key.
3. Open the hood.
