Check the engine-oil level before and after you first start the engine; refer to Checking the Engine-Oil Level.
Check the transaxle/hydraulic-fluid level before you first start the engine; refer to Checking the Transaxle/Hydraulic-Fluid Level.
Check the brake-fluid level before you first start the engine; refer to Checking the Brake-Fluid Level.
Check the air pressure in the tires; refer to Checking the Tire Pressure.
To ensure optimum performance of the brake system, burnish the brakes before use.
Bring the machine up to full speed, apply the brakes to rapidly stop the machine without locking up the tires.
Repeat this procedure 10 times, waiting 1 minute between stops, to avoid overheating the brakes.
Important: This procedure is most effective if the machine is loaded with 454 kg (1,000 lb).
Become familiar with all the controls before you start the engine and operate the machine.
Use the accelerator pedal (Figure 7) to vary the ground speed of the machine when the transmission is in gear. Pressing down the accelerator pedal increases the engine speed and ground speed. Releasing the pedal decreases the engine speed and ground speed.
You must fully press the clutch pedal (Figure 7) to disengage the clutch when starting the engine or shifting transmission gears. Release the pedal smoothly when the transmission is in gear to prevent unnecessary wear on the transmission and other related parts.
Important: Do not ride the clutch pedal during operation. The clutch pedal must be fully out or the clutch slips, causing heat and wear. Never hold the machine stopped on a hill using the clutch pedal. Damage to the clutch may occur.
Use the brake pedal to stop or slow the machine (Figure 7).
Operating a machine with worn or incorrectly adjusted brakes can may result in personal injury.
If the brake pedal travels to within 25 mm (1 inch) of the machine floor board, adjust or repair the brakes.
Fully press the clutch pedal and move the shift lever (Figure 8) into the desired gear selection. A diagram of the shift pattern is shown below.
Important: Do not shift the transaxle to the REVERSE or FORWARD gear unless the machine is motionless; otherwise, you could damage the transaxle.
Down-shifting from too high a speed can cause the rear wheels to skid, resulting in loss of machine control as well as clutch and/or transmission damage.
Shift smoothly to avoid grinding the gears.
The differential lock (Figure 9) allows the rear axle to lock for increased traction. You can engage the differential lock when the machine is in motion.
Move the lever forward and to the right to engage the lock.
Note: Machine motion plus a slight turn is required to engage or disengage the differential lock.
Turning with the differential lock on can result in the loss of machine control.
Do not operate the machine with the differential lock on when making sharp turns or at high speeds; refer to Adjusting Differential-Lock Cable.
Whenever you shut off the engine, engage the parking brake (Figure 9) to prevent the machine from accidentally moving.
To engage the parking brake, pull back on the parking-brake lever.
To disengage the parking brake, push the parking-brake lever forward.
Note: Disengage the parking brake before moving the machine.
If you park the machine on a steep grade, engage the parking brake, shift the transmission into FIRST gear on a uphill grade or REVERSE gear on a downhill grade, and place chocks at the downhill side of the wheels.
The hydraulic lift raises and lowers the bed. Move it rearward to raise the bed, and forward to lower it (Figure 9).
Important: When lowering the bed, hold the lever in the forward position for 1 to 2 seconds after the bed contacts the frame to secure it in the lowered position. Do not hold the hydraulic lift in the raise or lower position for more than 5 seconds, once the cylinders reach the end of their travel.
The hydraulic-lift lock secures the lift lever, so that the hydraulic cylinders do not operate when the machine is not equipped with a bed (Figure 9). It also locks the lift lever in the ON position when using the hydraulics for attachments.
The high-low range shifter adds 3 additional speeds for precise speed control (Figure 9):
You must stop the machine completely before shifting between the HIGH and LOW range.
Shift on level ground only.
Press the clutch pedal fully.
Move the lever fully forward for HIGH and fully rearward for LOW.
HIGH range—For higher speed driving on level, dry surfaces with light loads.
LOW range—For low-speed driving. Use this range when greater than normal power or control is necessary. For example, steep grades, difficult terrain, heavy loads, slow speed but high-engine speed (spraying).
Important: There is a location between HIGH and LOW in which the transaxle is in neither range. Do not use this position as a NEUTRAL position, because the machine could move unexpectedly if the High-Low shifter is bumped and the gear-shift lever is in gear.
To engage the 4-wheel drive manually, press and hold the 4WD button (Figure 9) on the center console while the vehicle is in motion and the 4-wheel drive engages.
Use the key switch (Figure 5) to start and shut off the engine.
The key switch has 3 positions: OFF, ON, and START. Rotate the key switch clockwise to the START position to engage the starter motor. Release the key switch when the engine starts. The key switch moves automatically to the ON position.
To shut the engine off, rotate the key switch counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Move the supervisor switch (Figure 5) to the SLOW position and remove the key. The supervisor switch limits the engine speed to 2,200 rpm when the machine is in third gear in the HIGH range, which limits the top speed to 21 km/h (13 mph).
The hour meter (Figure 6) indicates the total hours of machine operation.
The hour meter starts to function whenever you rotate the key switch to the ON position and the engine speed (rpm) is over 500 rpm every 6 minutes.
Move the third-high-lockout switch (Figure 5) to the SLOW position and remove the key to prevent the use of third gear when in the HIGH range. The engine shuts off if the shift lever moves to third gear when in HIGH range.
Note: The key is removable in either position.
Push the light switch (Figure 5) to toggle the headlights on or off.
The oil-pressure-warning light (Figure 6) illuminates if the engine-oil pressure drops below a safe level while the engine is running.
Important: If the light flickers or remains on, stop the machine, shut off the engine, and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, but adding oil does not cause the light to go out when the engine is started, shut off the engine immediately, and contact your Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
Check the operation of the warning lights as follows:
Engage the parking brake.
Turn the key switch to the ON/PREHEAT position, but do not start the engine.
Note: The oil-pressure light should glow red. If the light does not function, either a bulb is burned out or there is a malfunction in the system that you must repair.
Note: If engine was just shut off, it may take 1 to 2 minutes for the light to come on.
The glow-plug indicator light (Figure 6) illuminates red when the glow plugs are activated.
Important: The glow-plug indicator light turns on for an additional 15 seconds when the switch returns to the START position.
The coolant-temperature gauge and light registers the coolant temperature in the engine and operates only when the key switch is in ON position (Figure 6).
The 5 coolant bars blink if the engine overheats.
The charge indicator illuminates when the battery discharges. If the light illuminates during operation, stop the machine, shut off the engine, and check for possible causes, such as the alternator belt (Figure 6).
Important: If the alternator belt is loose or broken, do not operate the machine until the adjustment or repair is complete. Failure to observe this precaution may damage the engine.
Check the operation of the warning lights as follows:
Engage the parking brake.
Turn the key switch to the ON/PREHEAT position, but do not start the engine. The coolant temperature, charge indicator, and oil-pressure lights should glow. If any light does not function, either a bulb is burned out or there is a malfunction in the system that you must repair.
The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel in the tank. It displays only when key switch is in the ON position (Figure 6).
A single bar indicates a low fuel level and 1 flashing bar indicates that the fuel tank is nearly empty.
When the 4WD switch (Figure 5) is on, the machine automatically engages the 4-wheel drive if the sensor detects the back wheels spinning freely. When the 4-wheel drive is engaged, the 4WD switch light turns on.

Front tires air pressure specification: 220 kPa (32 psi)
Rear tires air pressure specification: 124 kPa (18 psi)
Important: Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation. If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires will wear prematurely and may cause the 4-wheel drive to bind.
Figure 12 shows an example of tire wear caused by under-inflation.
Figure 13 shows an example of tire wear caused by over-inflation.
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with low (<500 ppm) or ultra-low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature.
Using winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold-flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel-filter plugging.
Note: Using of summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra-low sulfur. Observe the following precautions:
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975 or EN590.
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may degrade over time.
Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.
Contact your distributor for more information on biodiesel.
Fuel-tank capacity: 22 L (5.85 US gallons).
Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap.
Remove the fuel-tank cap (Figure 14).
Fill the tank slightly below the top of the tank, (bottom of the filler neck), then install the cap.
Note: Do not overfill the fuel tank with fuel.
Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard.

The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
Passengers should sit in the designated seating positions only. Do not carry passengers in the cargo bed. Keep bystanders and children out of the operating area.
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Operate the machine outdoors or in a well-ventilated area only.
Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine.
Use extra caution when operating, braking, or turning the machine with a heavy load in the cargo bed.
Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces the stability of the machine. Do not exceed the carrying capacity of the bed.
Carrying material that cannot be bound to the machine adversely affects the steering, braking, and stability of the machine. When you carry material that cannot be bound to the machine, use caution when steering or braking.
Carry a reduced load and reduce the ground speed of the machine when operating on rough, uneven terrain, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the machine to become unstable.
Before you start the machine, ensure that the transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and you are in the operating position.
You and your passengers should remain seated whenever the machine is moving. Keep your hands on the steering wheel; your passengers should use the handholds provided. Keep arms and legs within the machine body at all times.
Operate the machine only in good visibility. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.
Do not drive the machine near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge gives way.
Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as tree limbs, door jambs, overhead walkways, etc.
Look behind and down before reversing the machine to be sure of a clear path.
When using the machine on public roads, follow all traffic regulations and use any additional accessories that may be required by law, such as lights, turn signals, slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signs, and others as required.
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop and shut off the machine immediately, wait for all movement to stop, and inspect for damage. Repair all damage to the machine before resuming operation.
It can take longer to stop the machine on wet surfaces than on dry surfaces. To dry out wet brakes, drive slowly on a level surface while putting light pressure on the brake pedal.
Operating the machine at high speed and then quickly stopping may cause the rear wheels to lock up, which impairs your control of the machine.
Do not touch the engine, transmission, muffler, or muffler manifold while the engine is running, or soon after you shut off the engine, because these areas may be hot enough to cause burns.
Do not leave a running machine unattended.
Before you leave the operating position, do the following:
Park the machine on a level surface.
Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position.
Engage the parking brake.
Lower the cargo bed.
Shut off the machine and remove the key.
Wait for all movement to stop.
Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
Use accessories and attachments approved by The Toro® Company only.
The ROPS is an integral safety device.
Do not remove the ROPS from the machine.
Always wear your seat belt; ensure that it is attached and that you can release it quickly in an emergency.
Check carefully for overhead obstructions and do not contact them.
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by thoroughly inspecting it periodically for damage and keeping all the mounting fasteners tight.
Replace damaged ROPS components. Do not repair or alter them.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
Survey the site to determine which slopes are safe for operating the machine and establish your own procedures and rules for operating on those slopes. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.
If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a slope, do not do it.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not suddenly change the speed or direction of the machine.
Avoid operating the machine on wet terrain. Tires may lose traction. A rollover can occur before the tires lose traction.
Travel straight up and down a slope.
If you begin to lose momentum while climbing a slope, gradually engage the brakes and slowly reverse the machine straight down the slope.
Turning while going up or down a slope can be dangerous. If you must turn on a slope, do it slowly and cautiously.
Heavy loads affect stability on a slope. Carry a reduced load and reduce your ground speed when operating on a slope or if the load has a high center of gravity. Secure the load to the cargo bed of the machine to prevent the load from shifting. Take extra care when hauling loads that shift easily (e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.).
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on a slope, especially with a load. Stopping while going down a slope takes longer than stopping on level ground. If you must stop the machine, avoid sudden speed changes, which can cause the machine to tip or roll over. Do not engage the brakes suddenly when rolling rearward, as this may cause the machine to overturn.
Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine when operating it with a load in the cargo bed and/or towing a trailer; refer to Specifications.
Distribute the load in the cargo bed evenly to improve the stability and control of the machine.
Before dumping, ensure that there is no one behind the machine.
Do not dump a loaded cargo bed while the machine is sideways on a slope. The change in weight distribution may cause the machine to overturn.
A raised bed could fall and injure persons that are working beneath it.
Always use the prop rod to hold the bed up before working under the bed.
Remove any load material from the bed before raising it.
Driving the machine with the cargo bed raised could cause the machine to tip or roll easier. You could damage the structure of the cargo bed if you operate the machine with the bed raised.
Operate the machine when the cargo bed is down.
After emptying the cargo bed, lower it.
If a load is concentrated near the back of the cargo bed when you release the latches, the bed may unexpectedly tip open, injuring you or bystanders.
Center loads in the cargo bed, if possible.
Hold the cargo bed down and ensure that no one is leaning over the bed or standing behind it when releasing the latches.
Remove all cargo from the bed before lifting the bed up to service the machine.
Move the lever rearward to raise the cargo bed (Figure 15).
The weight of the bed may be heavy. Hands or other body parts could be crushed.
Keep your hands and other body parts away when lowering the bed.
Move the lever forward to lower the cargo bed (Figure 15).
Ensure that the cargo bed is down and latched.
Open the latches on the left and right side of the cargo bed and lower the tailgate (Figure 16).
Sit on the operator’s seat and engage the parking brake.
Disengage the PTO and high-flow hydraulics (if equipped) and move the hand-throttle lever to the OFF position (if equipped).
Move the shift lever to the NEUTRAL position and press the clutch pedal.
Ensure that the hydraulic-lift lever is in the center position.
Keep your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Rotate the key switch to the ON position.
Note: When the glow-plug-indicator light turns on, the engine is ready to start.
Rotate the key switch to the START position.
Note: Release the key immediately when the engine starts and allow it to return to the RUN position.
Note: The glow-plug indicator turns on for an additional 15 seconds when the switch returns to the RUN position.
Note: Do not run the starter motor more than 10 seconds at a time or premature starter failure may result. If engine fails to start after 10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position. Check the controls and starting procedure, wait 10 additional seconds, and repeat the starting operation.
To enable automatic 4-Wheel Drive, press the top of the rocker switch into the 4X4 AUTO position (Figure 17).
When the 4WD switch is on, the machine automatically engages the 4-wheel drive if the sensor detects the back wheels spinning freely. When the 4-wheel drive is engaged, the 4WD switch light turns on.
Important: When in reverse, the machine does not automatically engage the 4-wheel drive. In reverse, you must manually engage the 4-wheel drive using the 4WD button.
To engage the 4-wheel drive manually, press and hold the 4WD button on the center console while the vehicle is in motion and the 4-wheel drive engages.
Note: The 4-wheel drive remains engaged only as long as you hold the button; the 4WD switch does not need to be in the AUTO position to manually engage the 4-wheel drive.
Disengage the parking brake.

Important: Do not attempt to push or tow the machine to get it started. Damage to the drive train could result.
To stop the machine, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, then press the brake pedal.
Park the machine on a level surface.
Engage the parking brake.
Rotate the key switch to the OFF position and remove the key.
Tipping or rolling the machine on a hill will cause serious injury.
The extra traction available with the differential lock can be enough to get you into dangerous situations, such as climbing slopes that are too steep to turn around. Be careful when operating with the differential lock on, especially on steeper slopes.
If the differential lock is on when making a sharp turn at a higher speed and the inside rear wheel lifts off the ground, there may be a loss of control, which could cause the machine to skid. Use the differential lock only at slower speeds.
Turning with the differential lock on can result in loss of machine control. Do not operate with differential lock on when making sharp turns or at high speeds.
The differential lock increases the machine traction by locking the rear wheels so that a wheel does not spin out. This can help when you have heavy loads to haul on wet turf or slippery areas, going up hills, or on sandy surfaces. It is important to remember, however, that this extra traction is for temporary limited use only. Its use does not replace the safe operation.
The differential lock causes the rear wheels to spin at the same speed. When using the differential lock, your ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted, and may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock only when necessary, at slower speeds, and only in first or second gear.
The hydraulic control supplies hydraulic power from the machine pump whenever the engine runs. You can use the power through the quick couplers at the rear of the machine.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and can cause serious injury.
Use care when connecting or disconnecting hydraulic quick couplers. Shut off the engine, engage the parking brake, lower the attachment, and place the remote hydraulic valve in the float detent position to relieve the hydraulic pressure before connecting or disconnecting the quick couplers.
Important: If multiple machines use the same attachment, cross-contamination of the transmission fluid may occur. Change the transmission fluid more frequently.
OFF Position
This is the normal position for the control valve when it is not in use. In this position, the work ports of the control valve are blocked and any load is held by the check valves in both directions.
RAISE (Quick Coupler A) Position
This position lifts the bed and rear hitch attachment, or applies pressure to quick coupler A. This position also allows hydraulic fluid to return from quick coupler B to flow back into the valve and then out to the reservoir. This is a momentary position, and when you release the lever, it spring-returns to the center, OFF position.
LOWER (Quick Coupler B) Position
This position lowers the bed, rear hitch attachment, or applies pressure to quick coupler B. This also allows hydraulic fluid to return from quick coupler A to flow back into the valve and then out to the reservoir. This is a momentary position, and when you release the lever, it spring-returns to the center, OFF position. Momentarily holding and then releasing the control lever in this position provides hydraulic-fluid flow to quick coupler B, which provides power down on the rear hitch. When you release it, it holds the down-pressure on the hitch.
Important: If you use it with a hydraulic cylinder, holding the control lever in the lower position causes the hydraulic-fluid flow to go over a relief valve, which can damage the hydraulic system.
ON Position
This position is similar to the LOWER (QUICK COUPLER B POSITION). It also directs hydraulic fluid to quick coupler B, except that the lever is held in this position by a detent lever in the control panel. This allows hydraulic fluid to flow continuously to equipment that use a hydraulic motor.
Use this position only on attachments with a hydraulic motor attached.
Important: If you use it with a hydraulic cylinder or no attachment, the ON position causes the hydraulic-fluid flow to go over a relief valve, which can damage the hydraulic system. Use this position only momentarily or with a motor attached.
Important: Check the hydraulic-fluid level after installation of an attachment. Check the operation of the attachment by cycling the attachment several times to purge air from the system, then check hydraulic-fluid level again. The attachment cylinder slightly affects the fluid level in the transaxle. Operating the machine with a low hydraulic-fluid level can damage the pump, remote hydraulics, power steering, and machine transaxle.
Important: Clean dirt from the quick couplers before connecting them. Dirty couplers can introduce contamination into the hydraulic system.
Pull back the locking ring on the coupler.
Insert the hose nipple into the coupler until it snaps into position.
Note: When attaching remote equipment to the quick couplers, determine which side requires pressure, then attach that hose to quick coupler B, which has pressure when you push the control lever forward or locked in the ON position.
Note: With both the machine and attachment shut off, move the lift lever back and forth to remove the system pressure and ease the disconnection of the quick couplers.
Pull back the locking ring on the coupler.
Pull the hose firmly from the coupler.
Important: Clean and install the dust plug and dust covers to the quick coupler ends when not in use.
Difficulty in connecting or disconnecting quick couplers.
The pressure is not relieved (the quick coupler is under pressure).
The power steering is turning with great difficulty or it is not turning at all.
The hydraulic-fluid level is low.
The hydraulic-fluid temperature is too hot.
The pump is not operating.
There are hydraulic leaks.
The fittings are loose.
The fitting is missing the O-ring.
An attachment does not function.
The quick couplers are not fully engaged.

Tie the machine down securely.
Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 for the tie-down locations on the machine.
Note: Load the machine on the trailer with the front of the machine facing forward. If that is not possible, secure the machine hood to the frame with a strap, or remove the hood and transport and secure it separately; otherwise, the hood may blow off during transport.
In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for a short distance; however, this is not the standard operating procedure.
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the machine at faster than 8 km/h (5 mph).
Note: The power steering does not function, making it difficult to steer.
Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If you must move the machine a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
Affix a tow line to the tongue at the front of the frame of the machine (Figure 19).
Move the transmission to the NEUTRAL position and disengage the parking brake.
The machine is capable of pulling trailers and attachments of greater weight than the machine itself. Several types of tow hitches are available for the machine, depending on your application. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer for details.
When equipped with a tow hitch bolted onto the rear axle tube, your machine can tow trailers or attachments with a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) up to 1587 kg (3,500 lb).
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% (272 kg (600 lb) maximum) of the gross trailer weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the machine.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer (attachment), do not overload the machine or trailer. Overloading can cause poor performance or damage to the brakes, axle, engine, transaxle, steering, suspension, body structure, or tires.
Important: To reduce potential for drive line damage, use low range.
When towing fifth-wheel attachments, like a fairway aerator, always install the wheel bar (included with the fifth wheel kit) to prevent the front wheels from lifting off the ground if the towed attachments movement is suddenly impaired.
Do not allow untrained personnel to service the machine.
Before you leave the operating position, do the following:
Park the machine on a level surface.
Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position.
Engage the parking brake.
Lower the cargo bed.
Shut off the machine and remove the key.
Wait for all movement to stop.
Allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
Support the machine with jack stands whenever you work under the machine.
Do not work under a raised bed without the proper bed safety support in place.
Ensure that all hydraulic-line connectors are tight and that all the hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, relieve all pressure in the system by shutting off the motor, cycling the dump valve from raise to lower, and/or lowering the cargo bed and attachments. Place the remote hydraulics lever in the float position. If the bed must be in raised position, secure it with the safety support.
Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy.
Do not charge the batteries while servicing the machine.
To ensure that the entire machine is in good condition, keep all hardware properly tightened.
To reduce the potential fire hazard, keep the machine area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulation of dirt.

Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has already ran, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before checking. If the oil level is at or below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the Full mark. Do not overfill the engine with oil. If the oil level is between the Full and Add marks, no additional oil is required.
Park the machine on a level surface.
Engage the parking brake.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag (Figure 35).
Insert the dipstick into the tube and ensure that it seats fully (Figure 35).
