Engine oil and filter
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of operation. Crankcase dipstick and oil filler tube are located as
shown in FIG. 48, FIG. 49 & FIG. 50. Tractor must be setting level when checking oil. Refer to engine manual and main-
tenance schedule for oil recommendation and capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of operation, per the engine manufacturer’s recommendations
after that. If tractor is being operated in extremely dirty conditions, then it is recommended oil be changed more fre-
quently. IMPORTANT: When removing the oil filter take precautions to minimize oil spillage on the exhaust system.
