Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and carry away more of the engine sediment which may have settled at the bottom of the crankcase. While the engine oil is warm, proceed as follows: NOTE A 12 inch length of flexible tubing is supplied in the owner’s manual package and should be used to drain the engine oil. Place the tractor on a level surface and engage the brake pedal lock. Stop the tractor engine and remove the ignition key. Clean around the base of the oil filter, the oil filler cap, and the dipstick tube to prevent debris from entering the crankcase. Unseat the plastic dust cap from the engine oil drain valve. To prevent loss of the cap, do not remove the cap’s retaining ring from the drain valve (Refer to Figure 22). Attach the flexible tubing (supplied in owner’s manual package) to the drain valve. Place an appropriate container below the open end of the tubing to collect the old oil. WARNING If the tractor has recently been operated, the engine and surrounding areas may be hot. Use caution not to burn yourself when removing the side panels, draining the oil from the crankcase, and changing the oil filter. NOTE The oil filter should be changed at every oil change interval. The engine may overheat and/or damage may result if the crankcase is below the “LOW” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. For best results, fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick as opposed to adding a given quantity of oil. Always check the level on the dipstick before adding more oil. Refer to the LUBRICATION TABLE for information regarding the oil capacity and the proper type of oil to pour into the crankcase. Place the tractor on a level surface and engage the brake pedal lock. Stop the tractor engine and remove the ignition key. Clean the area around the oil filler cap and the dipstick to prevent debris from entering the crankcase. Remove the oil filler cap from the valve cover and SLOWLY pour in oil. The oil capacity is approximately 1-1/2 quarts. Fill the crankcase until the oil level reaches the “FULL” mark on the dipstick (Refer to Figure 20). OPERATING RANGE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK Figure 23 26 ADDING TRANSMISSION OIL CAUTION Never overfill the transmission case. Damage or leakage may result if the oil level in the transmission case is below the “ADD” mark or over the “FULL” mark of the dipstick. For best results, fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick as opposed to adding a given quantity of oil.
