NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etco)
improve starting in cold weather', these multioviscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil
Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least
once a year ifthe tractor isnot used for 50 hours inone year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 14 and 15)
Determine temperature range expected before oil change_
All oil must meet API service classification SF, SG, or SH_
o Be sure tractor is on level surface.
= Oil will drain more freely when warm_
• Catch oil in a suitable container_
o Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine when changing oil.
o Remove drain plug.
