**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in ex-
treme cold (below –10
°
F).
*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating
is acceptable, up to 40
°
F).
Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn
the ignition key to off. Remove the key.
2. Open the hood.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 24) so dirt cannot
fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
4. Pull the oil dipstick out and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 24).
5. Push the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube (Fig. 24).
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.

Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run five minutes. This warms
the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to assure the oil drains
completely. Then disengage the power take off (PTO),
set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to off.
Remove the key.
3. Open the hood.
4. Place a pan below the oil drain. Open the drain by
removing the cap (Fig. 25).
5. When oil has drained completely, close the drain by
installing the cap.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling
center.
