To prevent engine damage, always operate
the engine with the complete foam and paper air cleaner
assembly installed.
Installing the Foam and Paper Elements
1. Carefully slide the foam element onto the paper air
cleaner element (Fig. 24).
2. Slide the air cleaner assembly and cover onto the long
rod.
3. Install the cover nut finger-tight against the cover (Fig.
24).
Note: Ensure that the rubber seal is flat against the air
cleaner base and cover.
4. Install the air cleaner cover and knob (Fig. 24).
5. Close the hood.
Servicing the Engine Oil

every 100 operating hours. Change the oil filter every 200
hours of operation or every other oil change.
Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SG or SH)

Changing the Engine Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure that the oil
drains completely.
3. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, lower the
attachment lift, stop the engine, and remove the
ignition key.

Caution
Components under the hood will be hot if the
tractor has been running. If you touch hot
components you may be burned.
Allow the tractor to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components under the
hood.
5. Place a pan below the oil drain.
6. Open the drain by turning it counterclockwise 1/8 turn
and pulling out on it (Fig. 27).

7. When the oil has drained completely, close the drain
by pushing it in and turning it clockwise, 1/8 turn.
8. Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling center.
