Showing items 1 - 3 of 3 results.
1. If you just want to see where it is - get a mirror and slide it under the forklfit in about the same area as the rear end of the engine.

2. If you want to drain oil easily - it is best done with the forklift jacked up and securley supported on hard wood blocks - consult with your local dealer on the proper way to do this.

The model is a 422SG3024
Serial Number- 422S660329
I Know that the plug is on the oil pan but is there an easy way to get to it? There isn't enough room for me to see exactly where it is.
