Engine Oil
Refer to Engine Manual for required frequencies of oil changes, oil types, crankcase
capacity, and viscosity.
Changing/Draining oil
Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes. This warms the oil so it drains better.
Park the machine so the drain side is slightly lower than the opposite side to assure
that the oil drains completely. Then lower the loader arms, chock the wheels and turn
the ignition key to “OFF” to stop the engine. Remove the key.
Place the end of the hose in a pan. Remove bung by turning counter clockwise while
holding the nut. Allow to drain.
When oil has drained completely, replace the bung.
Note: Dispose of used oil in accordance with local authority regulations.
Slowly pour approximately 80% of the specified amount of oil (refer engine manual)
into the filler tube. Now check the oil level. Slowly add additional oil to bring to
“FULL” mark on dipstick.
