Maintenance
WARNING!
Before performing any maintenance or
repairs, disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop
engine and remove key to prevent unintended
starting.
Engine
Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for all engine maintenance
procedures and instructions.
NOTE:
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission
control devices and systems which are being done at owner’s
expense may be performed by any engine repair establishment
or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by an
authorized service dealer
.
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING!
If the engine has been recently run, the
engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will
be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
NOTE:
The oil filter should be changed at every oil change
interval. To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1.
Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the
crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and
carry away more of the engine sediment which may have
settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to avoid
burns from hot oil.
2.
Open the tractor’s hood and locate the oil drain port on the
left side of the engine.
