MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
Diesel Engine
LUBRICATING OIL
Check engine oil level daily on dipstick.
See "Fuels, Fluids and Lubricants" section for
recommended oil type.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the
oil level below the "L" (LOW) mark or above the
"H" (HIGH) mark.
CAPACITY - LOW MARK TO HIGH: 2 U.S. qt. (2
litres)
Change engine oil and filter after the FIRST 50
HOURS OF OPERATION and every 500 hours (or
beginning of each operating season) thereafter.
To change:
1. Warm up the engine. Shut engine off and
remove ignition key.
2. Remove the drain plug (A) and allow oil to
drain.
CAUTION: Remember that the oil is
hot.
NOTE: A drain pan with a capacity of 5 U.S.
gallons (20 litres) will be adequate.
3. Check the condition of the used oil:
- Thin, black oil indicates fuel dilution.
- Milky discoloration indicates coolant dilution.
If oil appears diluted, have your Dealer correct
the problem before operating the windrower.
4. Clean around the filter head, remove the filter
(F) and clean the gasket surface.
5. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket on the
new filter, and pre-fill new filter with as much
clean oil as possible prior to installation.
6. Install the new filter. Turn the filter onto the
mount until the gasket contacts the filter head.
Tighten the filter an additional 2/3 to 1 turn by
hand or with a filter wrench.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten filter. Over-
tightening can damage the gasket and the filter.
7. Install the oil pan drain plug.
8. Fill the engine at (A) with the proper amount of
oil. See "Fuels, Fluids and Lubricants" section
for recommended oil types.
Capacity Diesel Engine
With filter change 14 L (14.8 US qts)
Without filter change 13 L (13.7 US qts)
9. Operate the engine at low idle and check for
leaks at the filter and drain plug.
10. Shut off engine. Wait five minutes, then check
oil level at dipstick (B). If required, add or drain
oil to bring level to high mark.
