Checking the Engine-oil Level
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Note:
Check the oil when the engine is cold.
WARNING
Contact with hot surfaces may cause personal
injury.
Keep hands, feet, face, clothing, and other body
parts away from the muffler and other hot surfaces.
Important:
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because damage to the engine may result. Do not run
engine with oil below the Low mark because the engine
may be damaged.
1.
Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to
the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
2.
Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position (Figure 45).
