DANGER
Never refill or add oil while the engine is hot or running.
A fire may occur or you may be burnt.
Check oil level
Pull out the oil gauge (A) and wipe off oil with a clean
cloth. Reinsert and remove it again to see if the oil
level is within the upper and lower marks.
If insufficient, add oil to reach to specified level zone
(c). Never add oil more than upper limit. It may
cause more oil consumption and carbon deposit in
combustion system.
IMPORTANT
1) Park the tractor on a level place, apply parking brake
and stop engine to check oil level. If the tractor is
on an inclined place, oil level is not correct.
2) Check the oil level before engine starts or engine is
cool. Never check oil level immediately after engine
stops. Wait for at least 20 minutes.
3) Never dispose of oil in rivers, field or place that
contaminate nature. Have the oil handled by
professionals.
