Engine Oil

Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range

during the period between oil changes.

Use oil that meets the following specification:

• See the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual provided with

your machine for the correct specifications.

Checking Engine Oil Level

NOTE: Check oil twice a day if you run engine over 4 hours in a

day.

NOTE: Make sure engine is cool when checking engine oil level.

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY

section.)

2. Allow engine to cool.

3. Clean area around dipstick to prevent debris from falling into

crankcase.

4. Remove dipstick (A). Wipe with a clean cloth.

NOTE: Allow dipstick cap to rest on threads of filler tube when

checking oil level. Do not tighten dipstick cap when checking oil

level.

5. Install dipstick and allow the cap to rest on the threads of the

tube. Do not tighten the cap.

6. Remove dipstick and check oil level on dipstick. Oil must be

between the ADD and FULL marks.

NOTE: Refer to engine manufacturer’s operating manual for

correct type and grade of oil.

• If oil is low, add oil to bring oil level no higher than the FULL

mark on dipstick.

• If oil level is above the FULL mark, drain to proper level.

7. Install and tighten dipstick.

Changing Engine Oil and Filter

1. Clean area around dipstick cap and filter.

2. Start engine and run until it reaches normal operating

temperature.

3. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY

section.)

4. Insert drain tube over oil drain fitting (A)

5. Put oil drain pan under drain tube.

6. Loosen drain plug.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand entire

Safety section before proceeding.

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain

carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.

Move the machine to an outside area before running the

engine.

Do not run an engine in an enclosed area without

adequate ventilation.

• Connect a pipe extension to the engine exhaust pipe

to direct the exhaust fumes out of the area.

• Allow fresh outside air into the work area to clear the

exhaust fumes out.

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Failure to check the oil level

regularly could lead to serious engine problems if oil level is

low:

• Check oil level before operating.

• Keep oil level between the FULL and the ADD marks.

• Check oil level when engine is stopped, level, and is

cooled so oil has had time to drain into the sump.

MX20155

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! To prevent extensive engine

wear or damage, always maintain the proper engine oil level.

Never operate the engine with the oil level below the add mark

or over the full mark.

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Touching hot surfaces can burn

skin. The engine, components, and fluids will be hot if the

engine has been running. Be cautious and wear

protective clothing when servicing or working near a hot

engine and components.

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Change the oil more often if the

machine is used in extreme conditions:

• Extremely dusty conditions.

• Frequent slow or low-speed operation.

• Frequent short trips.
