Transmission

Regularly wipe down the transmission (self-propelled model) to help prevent high oil temperatures.

Adding Transmission Oil

Check the transmission oil level daily/regularly.

1.Remove the transmission oil reservoir cap.

Figure 31: Oil Reservoir Cap

2.Add Mobil ATF D/M oil or an equivalent up to the Oil Level Cold line as necessary.

3.Replace the oil reservoir cap and tighten to secure.

Adjusting the Drive Wheels

The drive wheels should fully engage the rear wheels when the transmission is engaged. Check the engagement pressure daily/regularly to avoid wheel slippage.

Figure 32: Engagement Linkage

1.Loosen the engagement linkage nuts.

2.Move the lower engagement linkage downward so the drive wheels fully engage the rear wheels.

3.Retighten the nuts to secure the engagement linkage.

4.Engage the transmission to make sure the drive wheels fully engage the rear wheels. Readjust the engagement linkage as necessary.

Adjusting the Rear Drive Chain

Regularly inspect the rear drive chain and tighten as necessary. Regularly lubricate the rear drive chain with oil to increase chain life.

1.The transmission is secured to the transmission platform with four screws and nuts. Loosen the nut on each screw.

Figure 33: Transmission Nuts

2.Push the transmission up in the transmission platform slots to tighten the chain. Leave a little bit of slack in the chain and DO NOT over-tighten it.

3.Retighten all four nuts to secure the transmission to the platform.

Belts

WARNING

Turn off the engine/motor prior to servicing the belts.

CAUTION

Always let the belts cool down prior to servicing them.

Note: Over-tensioning the belts may damage the engine crankshaft. Under-tensioning the belts may cause shorter belt life and/or poor saw performance. Squealing belts indicate looseness.
