MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

Diesel Engine


LUBRICATING OIL

Check engine oil level daily on dipstick.
See "Fuels, Fluids and Lubricants" section for
recommended oil type.

IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the
oil level below the "L" (LOW) mark or above the
"H" (HIGH) mark.

CAPACITY - LOW MARK TO HIGH: 2 U.S. qt. (2
litres)

Change engine oil and filter after the FIRST 50
HOURS OF OPERATION and every 500 hours (or
beginning of each operating season) thereafter.

To change:

1. Warm up the engine. Shut engine off and

remove ignition key.

2. Remove the drain plug (A) and allow oil to

drain.


CAUTION: Remember that the oil is
hot.

NOTE: A drain pan with a capacity of 5 U.S.
gallons (20 litres) will be adequate.

3. Check the condition of the used oil:
- Thin, black oil indicates fuel dilution.
- Milky discoloration indicates coolant
dilution.

If oil appears diluted, have your Dealer correct

the problem before operating the windrower.


4. Clean around the filter head, remove the filter

(F) and clean the gasket surface.


5. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket on the

new filter.
