(Fig. 14).
3. Install the air cleaner cover and secure with cover nut

Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Raise seat and remove belt guard. See Removing Belt
Guard on page 21.
2. 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.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick and oil fill (Fig. 17) 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. 17).
5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the dipstick tube
(Fig. 17). Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal
end. If oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil
into the filler hole to raise the level to the full mark.
Important
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because the engine may be damaged.
