Section04ENGINE
Subsection 07 (LUBRICATION SYSTEM)
Run engine for 10 seconds at 4000 RPM and shut
it off at this RPM. This will move oil from PTO
housing to oil tank to allow maximum oil draining.
Remove oil filler cap and dipstick.
Using the Oil VAC (P/N 529 035 880), siphon oil
through dipstick hole.
CAUTION: Never crank or start engine when
siphon tube is in dipstick hole. Never start en-
gine when there is no oil in engine.
NOTE: Since the siphon tube must be inserted
at the proper depth to siphon the oil, it is sug-
gested to put some electrical tape on siphon tube
at 475 mm (18.7 in) from its end. Then, insert
siphon tube until you reach the tape.
