Oil Level Check

To check the oil level:
1. Park the machine on level ground and shut down
as described in 5.13 of the operations manual.
2. Open the hood to gain access to the engine
compartment.
3. Locate and remove the engine oil dipstick from
its tube (fig. 4-44, item A).

4. Wipe the dipstick with a clean shop cloth and
re-insert it into the tube until it comes to rest in its
seated position.
5. Remove the dipstick once again and inspect the
end for oil on the level indicator (fig. 4-45).
6. Oil should be present on the dipstick up to, but
not over the upper (full) level indicator notch. If
the level is correct, reinstall the dipstick and
then close and latch the hood to complete the
procedure.
7. If the level is low, add the proper grade and
viscosity engine oil and re-check as necessary
until the proper level has been achieved. Then
reinstall the dipstick and filler cap and close and
latch the hood to complete the procedure.
