4. Insert oil dipstick fully onto the fill hole, but
do not screw it in.
5. Pull the dipstick out, and look at the end. If
the oil level is near or below the lower limit
mark, slowly pour only enough oil into the fill
hole to raise the level to the upper limit mark
on the dipstick.
Do not overfill.
(Figure 26).
Important:
Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil because the engine may be
damaged.
Changing and Draining the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run until warm. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is
slightly lower than the opposite side to assure
the oil drains completely.
3. Disengage the blade control switch and set the
parking brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
5. Slide the drain hose over the drain valve
(Figure 27). Place a pan below the drain hose.

2. Oil drain tube
6. Rotate oil drain valve to allow oil to drain
7. When oil has drained completely, close the
drain valve.
8. Remove the drain hose (Figure 27).
Note:
Dispose of the used oil at a recycling
center.
9. Change the oil filter, if necessary (Figure 28).
10. Clean around the oil dipstick and unscrew the
cap (Figure 26).
11. Slowly pour approximately 80% of the
specified oil into the filler tube (Figure 26).
12. Check the oil level; refer to Checking the Oil
Level in Engine Maintenance, page 21.
13. Slowly add additional oil to bring it to the full
mark.
Changing the Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter every 100 hours or every
other oil change.
Note:
Change the oil filter more frequently when
operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
1. Drain the oil from the engine; refer to Changing
and Draining the Oil in Engine Maintenance,
page 21.
2. Remove the old filter using an oil filter wrench.
Wipe the filter mounting base surface clean
(Figure 28).
3. Apply a thin coat of clean oil to the rubber
gasket on the replacement filter (Figure 28).

4. Install the replacement oil filter to the filter
base by hand. Turn the oil filter clockwise until
the rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter;
then tighten the filter an additional 7/8 turn
(Figure 28). Oil Filter torque: 15-17 lb (20-24
