NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.,)
improves starting incold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°C. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oilo
Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and
every 25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the
tractor is not used for 25 hours in one year,,
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight (8) hours of continuous use.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 18 and 19)
Determine temperature range expected before next oil
change. All oil must meet AP1 service classification SGo
° Be sure tractor is on level surface.
