811. Install the crankcase engine oil drain bolt, the
engine oil tank drain bolt and their new gas-
ket, and then tighten the bolts to their speci-
fied torques.
12. Refill with the specified amount of the recom- mended engine oil through the engine oil tank
filler hole.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down.
NOTICEECB00301In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the
engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils
with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of
a higher quality than specified. In addition,
do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase. 13. Check the engine oil tank filler cap O-ring for
damage, and replace it if necessary.
14. Install and tighten the engine oil tank filler cap.
15. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
16. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if necessary.
17. Install the engine guard by installing the bolts, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
NOTICE: Be sure to apply LOCTITE
® to the
engine guard bolts before installing them.
