Before Operating

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.

Check Crankcase Oil

The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
level of oil must be checked before and after the engine is
first started.
Crankcase capacity is approximately 4 qts. (2.8 l) with
filter.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Push
dipstick down into dipstick tube and make sure it is
seated fully. Pull dipstick out and check level of oil. If
oil level is low, add enough oil to raise level to FULL
mark on dipstick.

3. If oil level is low, remove oil fill cap and gradually add
small quantities of oil, checking level frequently, until
level reaches FULL mark on dipstick.
4. The engine uses any high–quality 10W30 detergent oil
having the American Petroleum Institute – API –
"service classification" CD, CE, CF CF–4 or CG–4.
5. Install oil fill cap and close hood.
Important
or daily. Change oil after every 50 hours of operation.

Fill Fuel Tank

The engine runs on No. 2 diesel fuel.
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 7.5 gallons.

2. Remove fuel tank cap.
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in. (25 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
3. Fill tank to bottom of filler neck. DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then install cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire
hazard.
