Changing/Draining the Engine Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes.
This warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to assure the oil
drains completely. Then disengage the power
take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn
the ignition key to “STOP” to stop the engine.
Remove the ignition key.
3. Open the hood.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Components under the hood will be hot if
the tractor has been running.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Touching hot components can cause burns.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Allow the tractor to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components
under the hood.
4. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the
drain plug and let the oil drain completely (Fig.
28).
5. Install the drain plug and tighten it to 220 in–lbs.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified
recycling center.
6. Remove the oil filler cap (Fig. 29) and refill the
engine with a high–quality, CD class engine oil
(see viscosity chart).
