LUBRICATING OIL

Check engine oil level daily on dipstick.
See "Fuels, Fluids and Lubricants" section for
recommended oil type.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the
oil level below the "L" (LOW) mark or above the
"H" (HIGH) mark.
CAPACITY - LOW MARK TO HIGH: 1 U.S. qt. (1
litre)
Change engine oil and filter after the FIRST 25
HOURS OF OPERATION and every (200 hours –
2004 & older units), (500 hours – 2005 units), (or
beginning of each operating season) thereafter.
To change:
1. Warm up the engine. Shut engine off and
remove ignition key.
2. Remove the drain plug (A) and allow oil to
drain.
CAUTION: Remember that the oil is
hot.
NOTE: A drain pan with a capacity of 5 U.S.
gallons (20 litres) will be adequate.
3. Check the condition of the used oil:
- Thin, black oil indicates fuel dilution.
- Milky discoloration indicates coolant
dilution.
If oil appears diluted, have your Dealer correct
the problem before operating the windrower.
4. Clean around the filter head, remove the filter
(F) and clean the gasket surface.
5. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket on the
new filter.
