2. Oil Level Check
Check the oil before engine start up. If the engine has been
running let it cool for at least 5 minutes.
To check the oil level, stop the engine with the loader on
level ground, open the rear door and remove the dipstick
(Fig. 4.8A).
Keep the oil level between the full and low mark on the
dipstick. Do not fill above the full mark.
3. Engine Oil and Filter Replacement
Operate the engine until warm, approximately 5 minutes.
Stop the engine. Remove the oil drain plug located at the
bottom of the oil pan. Remove the oil filter (Fig. 4.8B).
Clean the filter housing surface. Put clean oil on the seal of
the new filter and install the filter hand tight.
Replace the oil drain plug. Remove the filler cap and add
10W30 API classification CF engine oil. Start the engine
and run for 5 minutes. Stop the engine and check for leaks
at the filter. Recheck the oil level and add oil until the level
is at the top mark on the dipstick.
