Changing Engine Oil 

(Models with Kohler Engines)

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 side of the engine.

3. 

Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil drain 

valve to expose the drain port. See inset in Figure 6-2.

Maintenance

WARNING! 

Before performing any maintenance or 

repairs, disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral 

position, set parking brake, stop engine and remove 

key to prevent unintended starting.

Engine 

Refer to the Engine Operator/Owner Manual for engine 

maintenance instructions.
Check engine oil level before each use as instructed in the Engine 

Operator/Owner Manual packed with your unit. Follow the 

instructions carefully.

Changing Engine Oil 

(Models with Briggs & Stratton Engines)

For draining oil from the engine’s crankcase of select model 

tractors, a plastic oil drain sleeve is packed with this Operator’s 

Manual. To drain the oil, 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 right side of the engine.

3. 

Unscrew the oil fill cap and remove the dipstick from the oil 

fill tube.

4. 

Snap the small end of oil drain sleeve onto the oil sump. 

See Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1

5. 

Remove drain plug and drain oil into a suitable container 

with a capacity of no less than 64 oz.
