How To Change Oil In Craftsman Yt 3000

TO Clean BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and termi-

nals can cause the battery to "leak" power.

ane. Disconnect Blackness battery cable first

so RED bombardment cable and remove

battery from tractor.

2. Rinsethe battery with plainly waterand dry out.

3. Clean terminals and battery cablevision ends

with wire brush until bright.

four. Coat terminals with grease or petro-

leum jelly.

v. Reinstall battery (See "REPLACING

Bombardment" in the SERVICE AND Advertisement-

JUSTMENTS section of this manual).

TRANSAXLE COOLING

Go along transaxle free from build-upwardly of dirt

and crust which tin restrict cooling.

V-BELTS

Check Five-belts for deterioration and habiliment afterwards

100 hours of functioning and supersede if neces-

sary. The belts are not adjustable. Replace

belts if they begin to slip from wear.

ENGINE

LUBRICATION

But use high quality detergent oil rated

with API service classification SG-SL

Select the oil's SAE viscosity form

according to your expected operating

temperature.

SAE VISCOSITY GRADES

F -twenty 0 30 32 40 threescore lxxx 100

i i i i i

C -30 -2_0 -10 0 1_0 xx xxx 40

TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL Modify

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils

(5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in

common cold weather, they will effect in increased

oil consumption when used above 32°R

Bank check your engine oil level more frequent-

ly to avoid possible engine harm from

running low on oil.

Change the oil later every 50 hours of op-

eration or at least once a year if the tractor

is non used for l hours in ane twelvemonth.

Bank check the crankcase oil level before starting

the engine and after each eight (8) hours

of operation. Tighten oil fill cap/dipstick

securely each fourth dimension you lot check the oil level.

TO Modify ENGINE OIL

Decide temperature range expected

before oil modify. All oil must meet API

service classification SG-SL

• Be certain tractor is on level surface.

• Oil will drain more than freely when warm.

• Catch oil in a suitable container.

1. Remove oil make full cap/dipstick. Exist careful

not to allow clay to enter the engine

when changing oil.

two. Remove yellowish cap from end of drain

valve and install the drain tube onto

the plumbing equipment.

3. Unlock bleed valve by pushing inward

slightly and turning counterclockwise.

4. To open, pull out on the drain valve.

five. Afterwards oil has drained completely, close

and lock the drain valve by pushing

inward and turning clockwise until the

pin is in the locked position equally shown.

six. Remove the drain tube and supersede the

cap onto the end of the bleed valve.

vii. Refill engine with oil through oil fill dip-

stick tube. Cascade slowly. Do not overfill.

For approximate capacity see "PROD-

UCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this

transmission.

8. Use guess on oil fill up cap/dipstick for

checking level. For accurate reading,

insert dipstick into the tube and push

downwards firmly into identify earlier removing.

Keep oil upwards to, simply non over, the "FULl"

line on dipstick. Push dipstick downwards

firmly into the tube when finished.

ENGINE OIL FILTER

Supervene upon the engine oil filter every season

or every other oil alter if the tractor is

used more than 100 hours in one twelvemonth.
