Checking Engine Oil Level
Check engine oil level

 before each use as follows:

•  Place the tractor on a flat surface and stop the 

engine. Allow the engine to cool long enough for the 

oil to drain into the engine sump.

•  Clean the area around the oil dipstick/fill cap. 

unscrew the dipstick/fill cap from the fill tube on the 

engine. Remove the dipstick and wipe the oil off. 

Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the cap 

on the tube. Do not screw the cap onto the tube. See 
Figure 15. 

•  Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level. The oil 

level should be up to, but not over, the “FULL” of “F” 
mark on the dipstick. See Figure 16.

•  If the level is low, add oil of the proper type (See 

following Viscosity Chart), up to the “FULL” or “F” 
mark on the dipstick. Always check the level with the 
dipstick before adding more oil. Do not over fill the 
crankcase.

I

MPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the oil level 

below the “ADD” or “L” mark, or above the “FULL” or “F” 
mark, on the dipstick.

Change the engine oil and oil filter after every 100 hours 
of operation. 
•  Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine 

oil. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more 

impurities.

•  Locate the oil drain valve on the right side of the 

engine, beneath the starter motor. Refer to Figure 15.

•  Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil 

drain valve to expose the drain port. Push the oil drain 

hose (packed with this manual) onto the oil drain port. 

Route the opposite end of the hose into an appropriate 

oil collection container with a capacity great enough to 
collect the used oil.

•  Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick from the oil fill tube.

Push the drain valve in slightly and turn counterclock-

wise until it stop, then pull the valve fully outward to 

open the valve and drain the oil. Refer to Figure 15.

•  After the oil has finished draining, push the oil drain 

valve back in, rotate it clockwise to lock the valve 

closed. Remove the drain hose and re-cap the end of 
the oil drain valve to keep debris from entering.

•  From the left side of the engine, remove the oil filter 

using an automotive type oil filter wrench (See Figure 
17). Wipe the filter adapter with a clean cloth.

•  Place the new oil filter in a shallow pan with open end 

up. Pour new oil, of the proper type, into the center
