Check / Fill Transmission Oil

Oil Type: 20W-50 conventional detergent motor oil.

1.Check the oil level when the unit is cold. Raise the seat plate to gain access to the transmission oil reservoirs (A, Figure 33). The oil should be up to the “FULL COLD” mark (B). If the oil is below this level, proceed to step 2.

2.Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure the area around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the reservoir is free of dust, dirt, or other debris. Remove the reservoir cap.

3.Add oil up to the “FULL COLD” mark (B, Figure 33).

4.Reinstall the reservoir cap.

Transmission Oil Filter Change

Change Interval: Every 200 Hours

1.Locate the transmission oil filters (A, Figure 34) underneath the rear of the machine on the transmissions.

2.Remove the three 1/4” filter guard screws (C) and the filter guard (B).

3.Clean the area around the filter base and remove the filter.

4.Apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new replacement filter. After the oil has drained, thread the new filter onto the filter base until the gasket makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn more.

5.Reinstall the filter guard with the three 1/4” filter guard screws

6.Using a hex bit swivel socket or a modified allen wrench remove the top port plug from the transmissions.

7.Remove the transmission reservoir cap and fill with oil until oil appears at the bottom of the transmission’s top port (approximately 2 qts (1,89L).

8.Reinstall the top port plug and tighten to 15 ft lbs (20,38 Nm).

9.Continue to add oil to the transmission oil reservoirs until the oil level reaches the “FULL COLD” mark. Reinstall the oil reservoir cap.

10.Repeat this process for the other side of the machine.

11.Run the unit for several minutes and check the transmission oil level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing the filter; air in the hydraulic system may affect the responsiveness of the ground speed control levers. Repeat step 11 until the air is out of the system.
