Checking the Oil Level Checking the Hydro Neutral Position The tractor comes from the factory with oil in the engine crankcase; however, you may need to add oil. Refer to Servicing the Engine Oil in the Operator’s Manual for oil type, viscosity, and crankcase capacity. Add only enough oil to raise the level to the Full mark on the dipstick. Ensure that the neutral position is set properly. Adjust it if the tractor moves when you do not press on the traction control pedal. 1.
