ENGINE
Check the engine oil level
NOTE: Check the engine oil level daily, or after
every 10 hours of operation.
1. After the engine has been stopped for a
period of time, and with the tractor standing
level, check the oil level using the dipstick.
2. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap ②
and add oil through the filler hole. Add
enough oil so that the level registers
between the two marks on the dipstick. Do
not overfill.
Changing the Engine Oil
NOTE: Change the engine oil and filter after the
first 50 hours of operation, then every 100 hours
thereafter. If the tractor is operated for extended
periods of time at maximum rated power and
speed, or under other types of continuous,
severe operating conditions, the engine oil and
filter should be changed at 70-hour Intervals
following the initial oil change.
To change the engine oil:
1. Place a suitable container beneath the drain
opening to catch the used oil. With the
tractor engine off but at normal operating
temperature, remove the drain plug ③ .
Reinstall the plug after all of the oil has been
drained.
CAUTION
Engine oil could be hot, use caution during
draining.
