Checking the Engine-oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the
engine-oil level.
Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the
engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has
already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the
sump for at least 10 minutes before checking.
1. Position the machine on a flat surface so that the
engine is level.
2. Stop the engine, wait for it to cool, and clean the area
around the oil filler cap/dipstick (Figure 13).

3. Remove the oil-filler cap/dipstick by rotating it
counterclockwise.
4. Wipe the oil-filler cap/dipstick clean and insert it into
the filler port.
Note: Do not screw the dipstick into the port.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
Note: If the oil level is near or below the lower-limit
mark on the dipstick, add only enough oil to raise level
to the upper-limit mark (bottom edge of the oil-fill
hole); refer to Figure 14. Check the oil level again. Do
not overfill the crankcase.

6. Install the oil-filler cap/dipstick and wipe up any spilled
oil.
Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval: After the first 20 hours—Change the
engine oil.
Every 100 hours—Change the engine oil.
1. Start and run the engine for a few minutes to warm the
engine oil; then stop the engine.
2. Raise the machine onto the transport wheels.
3. Tilt the machine so that the end of the machine with
the engine is closer to the ground, and support the
other end to hold it in this position.
4. Install the drain hose onto the engine oil drain valve
(Figure 15).
5. Place the other end of the hose into a suitable container
for oil (Figure 15).
