Engine Oil & Filter
Engine oil and the filter should be changed after the first
50 hours of operation. Subsequent change interval is
every 150 for engine oil and every 300 hours for engine
oil filter.
FIG. 122: To Check Engine Oil Level-Park tractor on
level ground. Make sure to allow the engine to cool suf-
ficiently before checking the engine. Pull out the dip-
stick, 1, and check that oil level is between upper limit
F and lower limit L on the dipstick. Wipe off the dipstick,
momentarily reinstall it in the engine and check oil level
again.
Add oil through the dipstick / filter opening as required.
DANGER: Muffler tail pipe is extremely hot
just after operation, so take care not to
touch it to avoid burns. Be sure to wear
gloves before checking engine oil level.
FIG. 123: To add oil, open the engine hood and remove
the filler cap. Add oil using a funnel to prevent oil from
spilling.
NOTE: Add oil slowly to assist in venting air from the
crankcase.
FIG. 124: To Change Engine Oil-Operate the tractor un-
til oil is adequately warmed. Remove the drain plug, 1,
from the engine and allow all oil to drain out.
Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine crankcase to
the upper limit on the dipstick.
