Model No. 161-5290-Serial No. and Up

Installation

Important: We recommend installing this kit when you perform your next oil change; refer to the Operator’s Manual. Performing the oil change at the end of the day allows the Loctite® 620 to cure overnight.

Preparing the Machine

  1. Park the machine on a level surface.

  2. Engage the parking brake.

  3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

  4. Wait for the engine to cool completely.

  5. Raise the cargo bed and secure it in the service position using the prop rod; refer to the Operator’s Manual.

  1. Remove the dipstick from the tube.

    Retain the dipstick.

  2. Remove the bolt securing the dipstick tube to the heat shield of the engine (Figure 1).

Installing the New Dipstick Tube

Parts needed for this procedure:

Dipstick tube1
Loctite® 620 (0.5 ml)1

Important: For best results, allow the Loctite® 620 to cure for 24 hours to develop the proper heat resistance.You can accelerate the curing time to 8 hours if the ambient temperatures are above 22°C (71.6°F).

  1. Remove the bolt from the engine-mounting surface (Figure 3).

    Retain the bolt.
