A - Engine Oil Filler Cap/Dipstick

1. Park tractor on level ground and shut off engine. Remove key.

2. Remove engine oil filler cap/dipstick (A). Oil level should be between two marks on dipstick.

3. If level is low, add oil through oil filler hole until even with upper mark. DO NOT overfill. Use seasonal viscosity grade oil. (See Diesel Engine Oil in Section 85 Fuel, Lubricants, and Coolant.)

IMPORTANT: Do not operate engine with oil level below low mark on dipstick.

For any off level operation engine oil must be maintained at the FULL mark to avoid engine damage.
