CRANKCASE OIL
Refer to Periodic Maintenance Schedule (located in the
Operator's Manual) for oil change interval.
If operating
in extremely dusty, high ambient, or low ambient
conditions, change oil more often.
Hot crankcase oil can cause burns if
His spilled or splashed on skin. Keep
fingers and hands clear when removing
the dl drain
plug and wear protective clothing.
Do not overfill crankcase. Excess oil
causes higher operating tempera-
tures and may cause foaming.
Run engine until thoroughly warm before draining oil.
Stop the engine, place a pan under the drain outlet and
remove the oil drain plug. After the oil
is completely
drained, clean and replace the drain plug. Fill crankcase
with correct amount of oil. Refer to SPEClFlCATlONS for
crankcase capacity.
Use oils meeting the API classi-
fication
SF, SF/CC, or SF/CD. Refer to chart to determine
the proper viscosity grade of oil
to use. Straight weight
oils are recommended for severe duty use and at
temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for minimum oil
consumption.
Crankcasepressure can blow out hot
oil and cause
serious burns. Do NOT
check dl while the engine is Operating.
Oil level should be to the FULL mark of the dipstick. Start
engine and run for a short time to check for oil leaks
around the drain plug.
