Installing the Element
Important
To prevent engine damage, always operate
the engine with the paper air cleaner installed.
1. Carefully slide the element into the compartment
(Fig. 39).
2. Place the air cleaner cover into the compartment and
latch the retaining clips (Fig. 39).
Servicing the Engine Oil
Change the oil:
After the first 8 operating hours.
After every 100 operating hours.
Note: Change the oil more frequently when operating
conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SF, SG, SH, SJ or
higher)
Crankcase Capacity:
67 oz. (2.0 l) when the oil filter is removed
61 oz. (1.8 l) when the oil filter is not removed
Viscosity: See the table below.
USE THESE SAE VISCOSITY OILS
Checking the Oil Level
Note: Check the oil when the engine is cold.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick so that dirt cannot fall
into the filler hole and damage the engine (Fig. 41).
4. Pull the oil dipstick out and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 41).
5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler cap. Pull the
dipstick out and look at the metal end (Fig. 41). 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
because the engine may be damaged. Do not run the
engine with oil below the low mark because the engine
may be damaged.

Changing the Oil
Replace the oil every 100 hours.
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so that it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure that the oil
drains completely. Disengage the power take off
m–4292
(PTO), set the parking brake, stop the engine, and
remove the key.
3. Place a pan below the oil drain. Rotate the oil drain
valve to allow oil to drain (Fig. 42).
4. When the oil has drained completely, close the drain
valve.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling
center.
