Section 7

7.3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

A. Checking Hydraulic Oil Level

The hydraulic oil level should be checked after the first 10 hours of operation. Thereafter, check the oil after every 200 hours of machine operation or monthly, whichever occurs first.

-IMPORTANT-

If the oil level is consistently low, check for leaks and correct immediately.

1.Wipe dirt and contaminants from around the reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil reservoir.

2.Visually check the level of hydraulic oil. Hydraulic oil must be at the full tab below the filler neck. If the fluid is low, add 20W50 motor oil. DO NOT overfill; (overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil seepage).

3.Clean the fill cap and install it onto the reservoir.

B. Changing Hydraulic Oil

The hydraulic oil should be changed after every 500 hours or annually, whichever occurs first. The oil should also be changed if the color of the fluid has become black or milky. A black color and/or a rancid odor usually indicates possible overheating of the oil, and a milky color usually indicates water in the hydraulic oil.

-IMPORTANT-

The hydraulic oil should be changed if you notice the presence of water or a rancid odor to the hydraulic oil.

1.Park the mower on a level surface and stop the engine.

2.Place a suitable container under the hydraulic oil filter. Tilt the seat forward. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir and the drain plug from the bottom of the reservoir. (See Figure 7-3). Allow the fluid to drain into the container and properly discard it.
