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. Stop the engine.Note: Drain the crankcase while the oil is warm. The warm oil will allow 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.
The drain valve for the engine crankcase oil is located under the rear frame. Note: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General Hazard Information" for information on Containing Fluid Spillage.
