General Information

Check Engine Oil

CAUTION

Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, make sure of the following: stop en- gine, engage parking brake, lower attachment, and remove key from the switch.

IMPORTANT: Check oil level every 8 operating hours or daily. Change oil initially after the first 8 hours of operation. Thereafter, change oil every 25 hours and filter every 100 hours under normal con- ditions. Change oil more frequently when the en- gine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.

The engine is shipped with 1–3/4 quarts (w/ filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, oil level must be checked be- fore and after the engine is first started.

1.Position machine on a level surface.

2.Unscrew dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Screw dipstick into the tube, and make sure it is seated fully. Unscrew dipstick out of the tube. Check oil level. If oil level is low, remove filler cap from the valve cover (next to dipstick), and add enough oil to raise the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
