Cub Cadet 2206 manual Checking Transmission OIL Level, Adding Transmission OIL

Page 26

CHECKING TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL

NOTE

Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is level.

Check the oil level of the transmission case before each use to see that it is filled to the correct level. Before checking the transmission oil level, clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to prevent debris from entering the transmission case. Always keep the oil level between the “FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the dipstick (See Figure 20). When checking the oil level, the dipstick must be withdrawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the way before being withdrawn for a true reading.
