IMPORTANT: Before reinstalling new filter, fill it with Mobil 1 15W-50 and
apply a thin coat of oil on the surface of the rubber seal.
Turn the filter clockwise until rubber seal contacts the filter adapter then
tighten the filter an additional 2/3 to 3/4 turn.
e) Fill reservoir as stated in Section 5.1.11.
f) Raise the rear of machine up and support with jack stands (or equivalent
support) just high enough to allow drive wheels to turn freely.
g) Start engine and move throttle control ahead to full throttle position. Move

Changing oil unnecessarily could damage hydraulic system by
introducing contaminates into the system.
