1.
Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
set the parking brake, and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2.
Open the hood.
3.
Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and install it (
4.
Remove dipstick and check oil level on dipstick. The
oil level should be up to the Full mark.
5.
If the oil level is below the Full mark, remove the fill
cap (
) and add oil until the level reaches the
Full mark on dipstick.
Do not overfill the crankcase.
6.
After adding oil, wait more than 5 minutes and check
the oil level again. It takes some time for the oil to
drain down to the pan.

Important:
Be sure to keep the engine oil level
between the upper and lower limits on the oil
gauge. Engine failure may occur as a result of
overfilling or under-filling the crankcase.
7.
Install the oil-fill cap and close the hood.
Checking the Cooling System
Clean debris off of the screen, oil cooler, and front of the
radiator daily and more often if conditions are extremely
dusty and dirty. Refer to
Removing Debris from the Cooling
.
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze. Check the level of
the coolant in the expansion tank at the beginning of each day
before starting the engine. The capacity of the cooling system
is 6.6 liters (7.0 US qt).
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the pressurized, hot
coolant can escape and cause burns.
•
Do not open the radiator cap when the engine
is running.
•
Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.
1.
Check the level of coolant in the expansion tank
(
).
The coolant level should be between the marks on the
side of the tank.

If the coolant level is low, remove the expansion-tank
cap and replenish the system.
Do not overfill the
expansion tank.
3.
Install the expansion-tank cap.
Adding Fuel
•
Fuel tank capacity: 53 liters (14 US gallons)
•
Recommended Fuel:
–
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30
days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
–
Ethanol:
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by
volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the
same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume
is not approved for use.
Never use gasoline that
contains more than 10% ethanol by volume,
