Checking Oil Level
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
loader arms and turn the ignition key to “OFF”
to stop the engine. Remove the key.
2.
Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 3 & 4) so dirt
cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the
engine.
3.
Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean.
4.
Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube.
Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end. If
oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into
the filler tube to raise the level to the “FULL”
mark.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil because the engine may be damaged.
