check the oil level with the dipstick, Figure 15.

2. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap,
Figure 16, and add oil to the engine through
the filler hole to bring the oil level between the
marks on the dipstick. Be careful not to over-
fill.

Changing Oil and Filter: Change the engine oil every
100 hours and the engine oil filter every 200 hours.

NOTE: Oil intervals should be adjusted according to
sulphur content of diesel fuel. The use of fuel with a
sulphur content over 1 ‘3% 5 not recommended.

0.5-1.0 1/2 Normal
Over 1.0 1/4 Normal
NOTE : More frequent engine oil and filter changes
are recommended if the tractor is operated for
extended periods of time at maximum rated power
and speed. Under such conditions, or other types of
continued severe operating conditions, the engine
oil should be changed at 70 hour intervals and
engine oil filter at 40 hour intervals.

temperature, drain the engine oil by removing
