Engine Oil (FM6DD)
The FM6DD does not have a dipstick in order to check the oil level. To ensure the oil
level is sufficient, remove the oil cap on the side of the engine (next to the discharge
chute) and make sure that the oil is full to the brim of the cap. If not, add oil until it
flows out of the hole, replace the cap and wipe off any excess oil.
