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.
