Checking engine Oil (Daily)
1. When checking or adding oil, place the machine so
the engine is level.
2. Pull the engine oil dipstick from its holder.
3. Determine if engine oil is low. Oil level should be
between the upper land lower limit (Figure 44) on the
dipstick.
Figure 44. Dipstick Engine Oil Level
4. If oil level is low, add correct amount of engine oil to
bring oil level to a normal safe level (See Recommended
Viscosity Grades, Table 6).
5. Allow enough time for any added oil to make its way
to the oil pan before rechecking.

Changing Engine Oil And Filter
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 50 hours of
use, then every 6 months or 250 hours. Refer to Table 6
for recommended oil viscosity.
1. Prepare a waste oil collector to drain the oil into.
2. Remove the oil filler cap while draining the oil to
allow the engine to drain easil
Figure 45. Oil Service Components
3. Remove the drain plug (Figure 45) to drain the oil.
4. After oil is sufficiently drained, securely tighten the
drain plug.
5. Using a filter wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise
to remove.
6. Clean sealing surface on engine where filter mounts.
7. Coat the seal of the new oil filter with clean engine oil.
Install new filter first by hand until it contacts the engine
sealing surface. Tighten it another 3/4 turn using the
filter wrench.
8. Fill engine crankcase with high quality detergent oil
classified "For Service CF, or CF-4". Fill to the upper
limit of dipstick. DO NOT overfill. Crankcase oil capacity
with oil filter replacement is 1.5 gals (7 liters).
9. Run the engine briefly for several minutes. Watch for
oil leakage. Shut the engine down and allow it to sit
for several minutes. Top off the oil to the upper limit on
the dipstick.
