5.Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the other side.

6.Lower the tractor. NOTE: The FasTrak must be level when filling and checking the oil.

7.Remove the breather hose and nipple from the top of the transmission and fill with new, clean 20W50 engine oil. It will require approximately 2 - 2.46 quarts of oil to fill the transmission. Re-attach the nipple and breather hose. Fig. 9-8

WARNING: Do not overfill. If you overfill the unit while it is “cold”, it may overflow as it reaches normal operating temperatures. The oil level should be within the operating range indicated on the dipstick. This will allow the space needed for the oil to expand as it warms up. Fig. 9-9

8.Start the unit and drive it forward and rearward 5 times approximately 10 - 20 feet each time.

If it feels smooth then the unit is ready to operate.

If either side moves slower than the other or sluggish then the system will need to be purged. Follow steps 9 through 12 until the air is purged from the system.

9.Raise and block the tractor up so the drive wheels are off the floor.

10.With the bypass valves open (Fig. 9-10), on both transmissions, an operator on the seat and the engine running at 1/2 throttle, slowly move both control levers forward and rearward 5 to 6 times to allow air to be purged from the system. As this occurs, the oil level will drop.

11.With both bypass valves closed (Fig. 9-11) and the engine running, slowly move both control levers forward and rearward 5 - 6 times. Stop engine and place steering levers in the park brake position. Lower the tractor and check the oil level. Add oil as required.

12.Start the unit and drive it forward and rearward 5 times

approximately 10 - 20 feet each time.

If it feels smooth then the unit is ready to operate.

If either side moves slower than the other or sluggish then the system will need to be purged again. Follow steps 9 through 12

WARNING: When washing the mower, direct spray away (especially if using a power washer) from the Hydro-Gear C-IZT transmission’s seals to prevent water intrusion and to ensure component performance.

Fuel system

DANGER: Observe usual fuel handling precautions: Do not smoke while refueling.

Do not fill tank with engine running or while engine is hot. Clean up any gasoline spills.

Allow engine to cool before storing machine inside a building. Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and store machine away from open flame or spark if there is fuel in the tank.

Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.

Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well ventilated areas.

Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause.

Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline.

Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer as interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the equipment on the truck or trailer using a portable container and not a gasoline dispenser nozzle. If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

WARNING: Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness.

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or conditioner opening. Keep gas away from eyes and skin.

The fuel tanks are located in the tractor’s fenders. (Fig. 9-12) Total capacity for the fuel tanks is 12.2 U.S. gallon (46.18 liter).

When filling the fuel tanks disengage deck clutch, place control levers in park brake position, and stop tractor engine. Clean around the fuel tank
