5.7.2 - Oil level
With tractor on a level surface: check the engine oil level
every ten hours or daily (this interval is flexible).
To avoid a heavy oil consumption:
- do not exceed the MAX mark on the dipstick.
- do not refill until the level reaches the MIN mark on the
dipstick.
Top up if necessary.
5.7.3 - Drain the engine oil every 400 hours
Drain the oil when the engine is warm, remove the plug 1
(Fig. 9) from the engine sump with the tractor standing on
level ground. Refit and tighten the drain plug to a torque of
3.5 daNm. Refill with an approved oil to the MAX mark on
the dipstick.
NOTE: Allow time for the oil to settle in the sump before
rechecking the level.
An interval of 400 hours is the maximum. In difficult work-
ing conditions the oil may need changing more frequently
(every 200 hours for example).
