Checking the Engine Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
NOTE: Check engine oil level when engine is cold.
NOTE: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil and run the engine; engine damage may result.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the PTO. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage the parking brake.
2. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.
3. To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick before
removing it.
