Checking Engine Oil Level - MacDon M2170NT Operator's Manual

Checking Engine Oil Level

Check the engine oil level frequently and watch for any signs of leakage.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before leaving the operator's seat for any reason.
NOTE:
During the break-in period, a higher-than-usual oil consumption should be considered normal.
NOTE:
The engine oil level can be checked while the hood is closed.
1. Operate the engine at low idle, and check for leaks at the filter and drain plug.
2. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
3. Wait about 5 minutes.
4. Locate engine oil dipstick (A) on the right side of the
windrower. Turn the dipstick counterclockwise to unlock it.
Remove the dipstick.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean. Reinsert the dipstick it into the
dipstick tube.
6. 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. To add oil, refer to
Oil, page 317.
7. Replace the dipstick. Turn the dipstick clockwise to lock it.
