Before Operating
CAUTION
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop engine, set parking brake and remove
key from the switch. Any load material must be
removed from bed or other attachment before
working under raised bed. Always place the safety
support on extended lift cylinder to hold box up.
Check Engine Oil (Fig. 12–15)
The engine is shipped with approximately 3.3 l (3.5
qts.) (w/filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, level of
oil must be checked before and after the engine is first
started.
1.
Position machine on a level surface.
2.
Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.
Insert dipstick into tube and make sure it is seated
fully. Remove dipstick and check level of oil.

3.
The engine uses any high-quality 10W30
detergent oil having the American Petroleum
Institute—API—"service classification" SH or
higher. Choose a viscosity according to the table
in figure 13.

4.
If oil level is low, remove filler cap and add
enough oil to raise level to FULL mark on
dipstick.

Note: When adding oil, remove dipstick to allow
proper venting, pour oil slowly and check the
level often during this process. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
Important
When adding engine oil or filling oil,
there must be clearance between the oil fill device and
the oil fill hole in the valve cover as shown in figure
15. This clearance is necessary to permit venting when
filling, which prevents oil from overrunning into
breather.
