Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the traction unit so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure that the oil
drains completely.
3. Lower the loader arms, chock the wheels, stop the
engine, and remove the key.
Components will be hot if the traction unit has
been running. If you touch hot components you
may be burned.
Allow the traction unit to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components.
Caution
4. Place one end of a hose on the drain valve and the
other end in a pan.
5. Open the drain valve by turning it counterclockwise,
pulling out as you turn it
(Fig. 23).
6. When the oil has drained completely, close the drain
valve and remove the hose.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling
center.

7. Remove the oil fill cap and slowly pour approximately
80% of the specified amount of oil in through the
valve cover.
8. Check the oil level; refer to Checking the Oil Level,
page 13.
9. Slowly add additional oil to bring the level to the F
(full) mark on the dipstick.
10. Replace the fill cap.
Changing the Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter every 200 hours or every other oil
change.
Note: Change the oil filter more frequently when
operating conditions are extremely hot, dusty, or sandy.
1. Drain the oil from the engine; refer to Changing the
Oil, page 25.
2. Remove the old filter and wipe the filter adapter (Fig.
24) gasket surface.
3. Pour new oil of the proper type in through the center
hole of the filter. Stop pouring when the oil reaches the
bottom of the threads.
4. Allow a minute or two for the oil to be absorbed by
filter material, then pour off the excess oil.
5. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on
the replacement filter (Fig. 24).
