Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
4. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 30) so dirt cannot
fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
5. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 30).
6. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, do not
thread onto tube (Fig. 30). Pull the dipstick out and look
at the metal end. If oil level is low, slowly pour only
enough oil into the filler tube to raise the level to the
full mark.
Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because the engine may be damaged.
