The proper oil level should register between the marked hole on the dipstick and the end of the dipstick. Replenish as needed with 20W-50 Motor Oil. DO NOT OVERFILL. When checking the oil level, be very careful to keep the reservoir clean.

Change the oil in the reservoir and hydrostat transmission oil filter after the first 100 hours of use. Then every 500 hours after that. Remove the filter and be sure all oil has drained from the reservoir. Replace with new filter and 20W-50 Mobil Super II.
