Engine Oil - C Series Garden Tractor
OIL DRAINING
The C Series tractor has an oil drain adaptor (fig 39)
located on the right hand (offside) of the engine. This is like
a bayonet light fitting, which you push in and turn anti-
clockwise to release. A short length of clear hose is
supplied in the toolkit that fits on this adaptor so that waste
oil can be poured into the can or bottle.
BEFORE DRAINING
1. Start the engine and allow to idle until warm (about five
minutes).
2. Switch off the engine, lift open the bonnet and unscrew
the oil cap/dipstick.
TO DRAIN
1. Locate the Oil Drain (fig 39).
2. Remove the Yellow Dust Cap.
3. Fit the short length of hose supplied over the nozzle of
the adaptor (see fig 39) and direct the other end into a
container large enough to take 2-litres of waste oil.
4. Press the adaptor in; turn anti-clockwise and pull to start
flow (fig 40).
5. When the sump is empty, press in the adaptor and turn
clockwise to lock. Remove hose and store for next use.
Replace Yellow Dust Cap (fig 41).
6. Refill with recommended oil (SAE30 detergent oil
classified for service – SG, SF, SE) to engine
manufacturer’s instructions. DO NOT OVER-FILL. The
use of lubricants that are not recommended may lead to
excessive wear or damage – and this will NOT be
covered by warranty.
