MAINTENANCE

TRANSAXLES

Inattention to proper safety, operation, or maintenance procedures could result in personal injury, or damage to the equipment. Sears recommends returning the machine to your authorized Sears Craftsman Professional for service or repair.

Perform transaxle maintenance with the engine off, spark plug wires disconnected and PTO disengaged.

TRANSAXLE FLUID CHANGE

Change the transaxle fluid every 200 hours of operation. It is essential that the exterior of the transaxle be free of debris, prior to fluid maintenance.

1.Remove the three 1/4" filter guard screws and filter guard A. Remove the oil filter B from the transaxle and discard. Dispose of used oil in ac- cordance with local requirements.

2.Wipe the filter base surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new replacement filter. Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to one full turn after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface.

3.Re-install the filter guard and torque the three screws to 65 in. lbs. each.

4.Remove cap C, fill the transaxles through the expansion tank D with approximately 4 quarts of SAE 20W-50 engine oil.

Do not overfill! If you overfill the transaxle while the unit is "cold", it may overflow as it reaches normal operating temperatures. The oil level should not be above the manufacturer's suggestions. This will allow the space needed for the oil to expand as it warms up.

5.After starting engine, check the fluid level and continue to add oil to overflow tank D to fill line on tank.

6.Purge the transaxles, following the purging pro- cedures on Page 28.
