NOTE:
An oil drip guard can be used to prevent excess oil from dripping into the engine base plate. Use
an empty quart (one liter) container and cut the bottom off at an angle, then slide the open area of
the container up and under the oil filter prior to removing. Position the port of the plastic container
so oil will be directed into the oil pan
(Figure 28)
. Or, make a drip guard by folding a piece of card-
board, thin metal, or plastic under the oil filter forming a channel to direct the filter port oil into the
drain pan.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.
10. Use a clean rag and wipe the oil filter mounting bracket surface clean where the oil filter gasket seats.
11. Install a new oil filter (Husqvarna 603 00 00-06) onto the engine oil filter port. Apply a light coat of white
lithium NLGI Number 2 grease (Dow Corning
®
BR2-Plus or equivalent) or new engine oil to the rubber
seal around the outside surface of the filter before attaching it to the oil filter port
(Figure 30)
. This will
help seal the filter to the oil mounting bracket.
NOTE:
Use only Husqvarna oil filters (603 00 00-06) designed for this engine.
12. Tighten the oil filter by hand until tight. Do not use a band wrench or channel lock plier to tighten.
13. Remove the dipstick and add engine oil into the dipstick port. Use a funnel or pour spout to direct the oil
into the dipstick port. With filter change, the engine requires 38 ounces (1.12 liters) of oil per change.
Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade
(Figure 31)
. Replace the dipstick.
14. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m). Coat ter-
minals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (Husqvarna 603 00 00-03).
15. Lower the cargo bed.
See WARNING “For vehicles with cargo beds...” on page 11.
16. With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, start and run the engine for a few minutes.
Observe both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If leaks
appear, begin with step 1 and repeat the appropriate step for either or both items to correct the problem.
17. Remove the dip stick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dip stick.
