Checking Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key to "OFF" to stop the
engine. Remove the key.
2. Open the hood.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 18) so dirt
cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the
engine.
4. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean (Fig. 18).
5. Screw the oil dipstick fully onto the filler tube
(Fig. 18). Unscrew the dipstick again 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.
