Note:
When you remove the nose panel from the
machine when the optional backhoe is attached, gently
push the hoses in the front of the nose panel forward
while lifting the nose panel upward.
Installing the Nose Panel
1.
Align the nose panel over the radiator of the machine.
2.
Lower the nose panel down and onto the machine
(Figure 40).
Note:
When you install the nose panel from the
machine when the optional backhoe is attached, gently
push the hoses in the front of the nose panel forward
while lowering the panel into place.
3.
Secure the nose panel to the machine with the 4 bolts
that you removed during step 3 of Installing the Nose
Panel (page 38).
4.
If the backhoe is installed on the machine, do the
following substeps:
A.
Remove the seat lock pin and lower the seat post
to the operating position (Figure 38).
B.
Install the seat lock pin through the holes in the
frame of the backhoe and the seat post (Figure
38).
C.
Install the hairpin into the hole in the seat lock
pin (Figure 38).
5.
Install the left and right side panels on the machine;
refer to Installing the Side Panels (page 37).
Servicing the Engine Oil and
Filter
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
check the oil level before and after you first start the engine.
The crankcase capacity is 11.0 L (11.6 US qt) with the filter.
Use only high-quality SAE 15W-40 heavy-duty engine oil with
an API classification of CH-4 or higher.
While SAE 15W-40 oil with an API classification of CH-4 or
higher is recommended for most climates, refer to Figure 41
for oil viscosity recommendations for extreme climates.

Note:
Limited use of low-viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30
with an API classification of CH-4 or higher can be used for
easier starting and providing sufficient oil flow at ambient
