Check the oil level every 4 hours during the first 50 hours of operation. Check the oil
level daily after the first 50 hours of operation.
To check the oil level, stop the engine and remove the dipstick at the left side of the
engine on the model 520/530 loader (Fig. 1 -14). The dipstick on the 533 loader is
at the right side of the engine (Fig . 1 -1 5), early models (left side on current
models).
Oil level must be kept between the "l" (low) and "F" (Full) marks on the dipstick.
Do not overfill - - - oil level must not exceed the "F" mark. Use good quality
detergent motor oil which meets recommended API Service Classifications (See
chart).
Use oil of proper SAE viscosity for expected temperature conditions at the time of
starting, not for the highest temperature expected during the working day (See chart
on page 1 - 7) .

Use a fi lter wrench to remove the oil filter (Fig . 1 -18) . Place an open reservoir or
rags under filte r area to catch leaking oi l.
Clean the f ilter contact area and put on the gasket before installing the element. Turn
t he element on unti l it is hand tight.

NOTE: Be sure to check the engine oil drain for a leak which is caused by engine
vibration (SIN 11339 & below). When t here is a leak , you can install a new
tubeline assembly (See Parts Manual or microfiche for parts).
Install t he drain plug and remove th e oil f iller cap (Fig. 1 -15). Fill with 3.4 quarts

NOTE: To check engine oil. the dipstick cap must touch the dipstick tube. To get
the proper oil level, DO NOT tighten the dipstick in the tube.
Check th e oi l level and add oil, if needed, to bring the level to the "F" mark on the
dipstick.

6-7.2 Checking the Starter
Armature
CORRECT
(1) Make a visual check of the commutator for rough or burned surface and if
necessary, polish with a fine sand paper. Turn the commutator in a lathe if it is
rough or taper wear is over maximum.
Measure the outside diameter of the commutator at several locations with an outside
micrometer and compare the highest micrometer indication with lowest indication to
find the amount of wear. Correction is necessary if the amount of wear is beyond
the value indication for need of servicing.
B-2988
(2) Measure the depth of the undercut mica on the commutator (Fig. 6-27). Fig. 6-28 Armature Insulation Test
( Correction is necessary, if the measured values are beyond the value indication for
need of servicing.
Test for insulation between the commutator segments using a growler tester (Fig. B-2990
6-2S). If the light of the growler illuminates, the coils are poorly insulated and the
arm atu re needs replacement. Fig. 6-29 Armature Coil Short Test
Put the armature on the growler and turn the armature on the growler slowly while
holding a hacksaw blade or a strip of steel over the sections of the armature core
(Fig. 6-29). If there is vibration of the hacksaw blade or a strip of steel, or if it is
pulled, the armature coils are shorted and the armature needs replacement.
Make a continuity test between the commutator sections using a growler (Fig.
6-30). If the light of the growler does not illuminate when the tester wires are
connected across the commutator sections, the coil circuit is open and armature
needs replacement.
B.2989
(1) Measure the insulation resistance between the field coils and yoke , using a
megger meter (Fig . 6-31).
If the test indication shows poor insulation , find the cause for por insulation or
grounding by making the test with the cores removed one at a time.
(2) Make a conductor test on the four f ield coils using a tester (Fig. 6-32) .
If the indication between the coil leads show resistance, replace the fiel d coils. 8-2995
(1) Check the brushes for wear, damage and broken wires and replace the
parts if defect is found .
Brush information
Check the brushes for broken springs , corrosion, distortion or weak tension .
Replace parts with defects, as necessary .

between the brush holders and the mounting plate (Fig . 6 - 33). Fig . 6 - 32 Fie ld Coi l Con ti n Uity Te st
(1) The magnetic switch is normal if the plunger is pulled hard when 12V
power is applied between the C and M terminals and returns smoothly when the
power is removed.
NOTE: When the starter solenoid is fastened to the engine , vibration can cause
failure. Move the solenoid to the engine mou nting frame. Also be sure the
connections on the solenoid have insulation covers.
(1) Check all wires for broken insulation and replace any bad wires.
(2) The electrical connector (between the ROPS and the mainframe) can get
corrosion. Put a sealant (water resistant) on the connector before installing.
Fig. 6 - 33 Check Bru sh Holders
(See the Parts Manual (or microfiche) for the part number of the sealant).
Install a support bracket (Fig. 6-34) at the lower through bolt of the starter and the

PROBLEM:
Eng ine continu es t o run after the key switch is turned off.
CAUSE:
Replace carburetor 6 51 2225 with carburetor 6514854 which has a fuel shut off
so len oid .
Replace the ro d c ontrolled choke linkage with a cable controlled choke (Kit PIN
6561996).
The fuel solenoid carburetor has the choke lever on the left side and cannot be
connected to the rod controlled c hoke linkage .
The cable controlled c h oke will fully open and close the choke and give better
assistance in c old weather starting.
The c able cont rolled c hoke cannot be installed on machines with carburetor part
number 651 2 225 installed because th e choke lever is on the right side of the
carburetor, and w ill result in interference with the governor control.
