hours of usage. Clean

the oil reservoir cap and the area around it prior to

removal. Check the oil level on the dipstick.

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.
