5. Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube (Fig. 5).
6. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end.
7. If the oil level is low, clean around the oil filler cap
and remove the cap (Fig. 5).
8. Slowly pour only enough oil into the valve cover to
raise the level to the F (full) mark.
Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because the engine may be damaged.
9. Replace the filler cap and dipstick.

Removing Debris from the
Traction Unit
Important Operating the engine with a blocked grass
screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling
shrouds removed, will result in engine damage from
overheating.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, raise the
loader arms, and install the cylinder locks; refer to
Using the Cylinder Locks, page 18.
2. Stop the engine and remove the key.
3. Clean any debris from the grill before each use and/or
during use, if required.
4. Wipe away debris from the air cleaner before each use
and/or during use, if required.
5. Clean any debris build–up on the engine with a brush
or blower before each use.
Important It is preferable to blow dirt out, rather than
washing it out. If water is used, keep it away from
electrical items and hydraulic valves. Do not use a
high-pressure washer. High–pressure washing can
damage the electrical system and hydraulic valves or
deplete grease.
6. Remove and store the cylinder locks (refer to Using
the Cylinder Locks, page 18), and lower the loader
arms.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
Check the hydraulic fluid level before the engine is first
started and after every 25 operating hours.
Hydraulic Tank Capacity: 17.25 gal. (67 l)
Hydraulic Fluid: 10W-30 or 15W-40 detergent, diesel
engine oil (API service CH-4 or higher).
1. Remove the attachment, if one is installed; refer to
Removing an Attachment, page 20.
2. Park the traction unit on a level surface, raise the
loader arms, and install the cylinder locks; refer to
Using the Cylinder Locks, page 18.
3. Stop the engine and remove the key.
4. Clean the area around the filler neck of the hydraulic
tank (Fig. 6).
5. Remove the cap from the filler neck and check the
fluid level on the dipstick (Fig. 6).

6. If the level is low, add enough fluid to raise it to the
proper level.
7. Install the cap on the filler neck.
8. Remove and store the cylinder locks (refer to Using
the Cylinder Locks, page 18) and lower the loader
arms.
Tire pressure
Maintain the air pressure in the tires as specified. Check
the tires when they are cold to get the most accurate
reading.
Pressure: 15–20 psi
Note: Use a lower tire pressure (15 psi) when operating in
sandy soil conditions to provide better traction in the loose
soil.
