OIL
Refer
to
Periodic Maintenance Schedule (located in the
Operator's Manual) for oil change interval.
If
operating
in extremely'-dusty, high ambient, 'or low ambient
conditions, change oil more often.
Hotcrankcase oil can cause burns if
it comes in contact with skin.. Wear
protective clothing and keep fingers and hands clear
when draining oil.
Excess oil can cause high oil con-
sumption, high operating temper-
atures, and oil foaming.
Do
not overfill crankcase.
Run engine until thoroughly warm before draining oil.
Stop the engine, place a pan 'under the drain outlet and
remove the
oil
drain plug. After the
oil
is
completely
drained, clean and replace the drain plug. Fill crankcase
with correct amount of oil. Refer
to
SPEClFlCATlONS for
crankcase capacity. Use oils meeting the
API
classi-
fication SF, SF/CC, or SF/CD. Refer
to
chart
to
determine
the proper viscosity grade of oil
to
use. Straight weight
oils are recommended for severe duty use and at
temperatures above 32°F
(0°C)
for minimum oil
consumption.
Crankcase pressure can blow out hot
oil, which can cause severe personal
injury.
Do
not check oil while the engine
is
running.
Oil level should be to the FULL mark of the dipstick. Start
engine and run for a short time
to
check for oil leaks
around the drain plug.

CHANGE
Refer
to
Periodic Maintenenace Schedule (located in the
Operator's Manual) for oil filter change interval.
If
operating in extremely dusty, high ambient, or low
ambient conditions, change oil filter more often.
Spin
off
oil
filter elementand discard it. Thoroughly clean
filter mounting surface and make sure new gasket is
inserted
in
the element. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the
gasket. Spin element down by hand until gasket just
touches mounting pad and then turn down an additional
112-314
turn. Do not overtighten.
With oil in crankcase, start engine and check for leaks
around filter element. Retighten only as much as
necessary
to
eliminate leaks; do not overtighten.
