Engine hood and engine hood parts can be hot while engine is running or immediately after engine shutdown. Hot parts or hot components can cause burns or personal injury. Do not allow these parts to contact your skin, when engine is running or immediately after engine shutdown. Use protective clothing or protective equipment to protect your skin.
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin.
Park the machine on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Stop the engine.Note: Drain the crankcase while the oil is warm. This allows waste particles that are suspended in the oil to drain. As the oil cools, the waste particles will settle to the bottom of the crankcase. The particles will not be removed by draining the oil and the particles will recirculate in the engine lubrication system with the new oil.Note: Run the engine at low idle for at least ten minutes before performing any other operations every time the engine oil and filter are changed in order to protect your engine. Refer to "Operation Maintenance Manual" , Engine and Machine Warm-up.
