Engine oil and filter
IMPORTANT: Any maintenance operation that requires
the removal of safety covers must be performed by a trained
service technician.
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Check engine oil daily. Power unit must be setting level and
the engine stopped for a period of time when checking oil
level. Refer to engine manual and maintenance schedule
for oil recommendation and capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter every 100 hours or
annually, whichever comes first.
NOTE: If power unit is being operated in extremely dirty
conditions, then it is recommended oil be changed more fre-
quently. If the engine is operated for extended periods of time
at maximum rated power and speed or under other types of
continuous, severe operating conditions the oil and filter
should be changed at 70 hours intervals following the initial
oil change.
Refer to Figure 4-13 for the engine oil filter and dipstick
location.
Refer to Figure 4-14 for the engine oil fill location.
Refer to Figure 4-15 for the engine oil drain location.
Changing the oil
1. Before adding engine oil, place the unit on a level
surface, then remove the dipstick to provide crankcase
ventilation.
2. Add oil at the oil fill shown. Figure 4-14
NOTE: When changing the engine oil, add the exact
amount specified in the engine owner’s manual.
NOTE: Use CD grade or better by API classification
engine oil.
3. Wait about fifteen minutes until the oil gets down to the
oil pan. Then check the oil level with a dipstick. A
certain period of time is required before the engine oil
completely flows down from the oil filler to the
crankcase.
4. Check the oil level, accounting for the higher oil level
due to the oil filter oil capacity.
