Draining and Refilling Engine Oil
Ensure Engine Oil is Warm but NOT HOT!
z Ensure engine oil is warm but not hot. This will allow the
old oil to drain quicker and more thoroughly.
z Place a suitable receptacle under the engine drain plug. See
diagrams for drain plug location. The 5000, 6000, 7000 and
9000 Perkins engine models have a remote drain plug.
The Dumper MUST be On Firm Level Ground
When Checking or Changing the Oil
z Unscrew the drain plug and allow the old engine oil to drain
completely.
z Thoroughly wash the drain plug and renew the washer - if
fitted. Refit the drain plug.
z The engine oil filter MUST be changed when the engine oil
is renewed. See Engine Manufacturers handbook.
z Add the correct grade and quantity of engine oil to the engine.
See Engine Manufacturers handbook.
DO NOT OVERFILL
z Start the engine and check for leaks.
z Stop engine, leave for a few minutes and recheck engine oil
level. Top up as required. DO NOT OVERFILL.
