Run engine for 10 seconds at 4000 RPM and shut
it off at this RPM. This will move oil from PTO
housing to oil tank to allow maximum oil draining.
Remove oil filler cap and dipstick.
Using the Oil VAC (P/N529 035 880), siphon oil
through dipstick hole.
CAUTION: Never crank or start engine when siphon
tube is in dipstick hole. Never start engine
when there is no oil in engine.
NOTE: So that siphon tube is located at the proper
height to siphon oil, it is suggested to put some
electrical tape on siphon tube at 475 mm (18.7 in)
from its end. Then, insert siphon tube until you
reach the tape.
