To accurately check the engine lubrication oil level, park
the machine on a level surface and stop the engine:
1. Clean around the engine lubrication oil dipstick
before removing it from the engine. (Figure 5-13)
2. Removing dipstick from the engine, wipe with a
clean cloth, then reinsert.
3. Pull dipstick out of the engine and check that oil
level is near the full mark on the dipstick.

Change Engine Oil and Filter
The engine lubrication oil and oil lter must be changed
at the same time.
DO NOT change the engine lubrication
oil lter while the engine is running. Serious engine
damage will occur.
To change the engine lubrication oil:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn off the
engine.
Change the engine lubrication oil while
the engine is WARM, not hot. Hot oil can cause serious
personal injury.
2. If needed, wait until the engine lubrication oil has
cooled a little. Oil should be warm, not hot.
3. Place a container large enough to hold 17.6 quarts
(16.6 liters) of oil underneath the drain hose.
4. Remove oil plug under engine and drain all engine
oil into the container.
5. After all the oil has drained, reinstall the oil plug.
6. Wipe the area around the oil lter and its mounting
base with a clean cloth.
7. Place the empty container under the lter element.
8. Use a lter removal wrench to remove the lter,
turning counterclockwise.
9. Wipe inside the oil lter head using a clean, lint-free
cloth.
10. Rub a little oil on the rubber gasket area of the new
lter element.
11. Fill the new lter with fresh oil.
12. Install the new lter element onto the lter head.
Carefully tighten the lter (by hand only).
13. Fill the engine with 17.6 quarts (16.6 liters) of oil at
the oil ll cap.
14. Check oil level using the oil dipstick. Add more if
needed.
15. Dispose of used oil in accordance with local and
federal environmental laws.
NOTE: Discard the used rubber gasket with the lter
element.
Engine Drive Belt
Check the engine belt every 250 service hours. The
engine drive belt should be replaced whenever the
belt appears frayed or cracked. This belt drives the
alternator and the cooling fan. Tension on the belt is
maintained by a spring-loaded tensioner.
Engine must be turned off and the
wheels blocked to prevent motion when servicing the
machine to prevent serious injury or death.
NOTE: The spring-loaded belt tensioner must be
pivoted away from the drive belt. Pivoting
in the wrong direction can damage the
tensioner.
To replace the belt:
1. Turn off engine and block the wheels to prevent
movement while working on the machine.
2. Using a 3/8-inch square drive, lift the tensioner
to relieve pressure on the belt. Remove the belt.
(Figure 5-14)
3. Using a 3/8-inch square drive, lift the tensioner and
hold.
4. Install the new drive belt.
5. Release the tensioner, ensuring it is properly
pressing against the belt.
