Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes.
This warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the traction unit so that the drain side is
slightly lower than the opposite side to ensure
that the oil drains completely.
3. Lower the loader arms, chock the wheels, and
stop the engine. Remove the key.
