NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils (5W30,
! 0W30 etco) improve starting in cold weather,
they will result in increased
oil consumption
when used above 32°F, Check your engine
oil level more frequently
to avoid possible
engine damage
from running
low on oil.
Change the oil after every 50 hours of opera-
tion or at least once a year if the tractor
is
not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase
oil level before starting
the engine
and after each eight
(8) hours
of operation°
Tighten
oil fill cap!dipstick
securely
each time you check the oil level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

range expected
before oil change. All oil must meet API
service classification SG-SL,
