3. If oil is needed, remove the top plug and
fill just until oil begins to come out of the
lower hole.

after the first 50 hours of operation.
After that, it should be changed every
250 hours or yearly, whichever
occurs first.

6 o’clock and the other at 3 o’clock or
9 o’clock.
2. Remove the bottom plug to drain oil.
3. Once all of the oil is drained, reinstall the
bottom plug and remove the top plug.
4. Refill with gear oil as previously
described.
5. Reinstall top plug.
General Maintenance
If your machine is going to sit unused for
an extended period of time, occasionally
rotate the wheel hubs by driving the machine
forward and backward - at least half of a tire
rotation to adequately coat all internal hub
parts. This will prevent rusting if moisture
inadvertently entered the wheel hub during
an oil change.
Engine Oil
The Engine Oil Dipstick is located on the
left-hand side of the engine - open hood
panel to access. Wait at least five (5) minutes
after shutting the engine off before checking
the oil level.
NOTE: Check the engine oil level daily.
Capacity
• Engine Oil Dipstick Capacity (low to high
mark) = 3.2 quarts (3 L)
• Engine Oil Pan Capacity (including
filter) = 13.7 quarts (13 L)
Type
• Valvoline Premium Blue® Classic
Engine Oil - 15W-40 (recommended)
NOTE: Change the engine oil every 250
hours of operation or yearly,
whichever occurs first.
NOTICE
Failure to rotate the wheel hub and
disperse oil may cause rusting and
internal wheel hub damage.
NOTICE
Never operate the engine with oil level
below the “L” (low) mark or above the “H”
(high) mark on the engine oil dipstick.
NOTICE
The engine must be level when checking
the oil level to ensure accuracy.
