TABLE C PROCEDURES
C-2
Replace the Engine Oil and
Filter - Deutz Diesel Models
Engine specifications require
that this procedure be performed
every 500 hours. Perform this
procedure more often if dusty
conditions exist or if the machine
is operated in hot climates.
Periodic replacement of the engine oil and
filter is essential to good engine performance.
Operating the machine with an improper oil level or
neglecting periodic oil and filter changes can
damage engine components. A frequent check
of elapsed machine hours against the hours
noted on the oil filter will allow the inspector to
anticipate and perform oil and filter changes at
the 500 hour interval.
Burn hazard. Beware of hot
engine parts and oil. Contact with
hot engine oil and/or engine parts
may result in severe burns.
Perform this procedure after
warming the engine to normal
operating temperature.
1 Remove the safety pin (if equipped) from the
engine pivot plate latch.
The engine pivot plate latch is
located under the engine turntable
pivot plate at the counterweight
end of the machine.
2 Open the engine pivot plate latch and swing the
engine pivot plate out and away from the
machine.
3 Remove the oil filler cap located above the
dipstick.
