ADDING OIL

CAUTION

Never overfill the engine crankcase. The engine may overheat and/or damage may result if the crankcase is below the “LOW” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.

NOTE

For best results, fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick as opposed to adding a given quantity of oil. Always check the level on the dipstick before adding more oil.

Refer to the LUBRICATION TABLE for information regarding the proper type of oil to add to the crankcase.

1.Place the tractor on a level surface and engage the brake pedal lock. Stop the tractor engine and remove the ignition key.

2.Clean the area around the oil level dipstick, dipstick tube, and the oil filler cap to prevent debris from entering the crankcase.

3.Remove the oil filler cap from the left valve cover and SLOWLY pour in oil. Fill the crankcase until the oil level reaches the “FULL” mark on the dipstick (Refer to Figure 18).

4.Reinstall the oil filler cap by screwing it securely into the valve cover.

CAUTION

The oil filler cap MUST BE TIGHTENED SECURELY INTO THE VALVE COVER AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING. Severe engine damage could result from failure to do so.

DRAINING OIL AND REPLACING OIL FILTER

NOTE

The engine oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of operation. Then oil should be changed after every 100 hours of operation.

WARNING

If the tractor has recently been operated, the engine and surrounding areas may be hot. Use caution not to burn yourself when removing the side panels, draining the oil from the crankcase, and changing the oil filter.

NOTE

The oil filter should be changed at every oil change interval. The filters can be obtained through your Cub Cadet dealer under part number KH-12-050-08.

Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART and the LUBRICATION TABLE for information regarding the frequency of required oil changes and the quantity and type of oil needed.

The oil filter is located behind the left side panel and is mounted on the engine (See Figure 19).

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.
