of corrosive build-up.
• After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a light coat
of petroleum jelly or grease to both terminals.
CAUTION:

first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When re-
installing the battery, always connect the POSITIVE
(Red) wire its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE

the correct terminals; reversing them could result in
serious damage to your engine's alternating system.

procedures and instructions.
NOTE: If the "LOW OIL" text appears immediately after
the engine is started the oil pressure may be low. This is
normal. If the low oil indication persists stop the tractor
immediately and check the engine oil level as instructed in
the Engine Operator's Manual.
NOTE: The "Low Oil" function only works if the engine is
equipped with an oil pressure switch.
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING
the engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces
will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The
oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain hose on the left side of the engine.
3. Place an appropriate oil collection container with at least a
2.5 quart capacity below the opening of the oil drain tube,
to collect the used oil. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick from
the oil fill tube.
