CARE AND MAINTENANCE

HYDROSTAT OIL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:

Check the oil level in hydrostatic transmisison oil reservoir after every 25 hours of usage. Clean the oil reservoir cap and the area around it prior to removal. Check the oil level. Oil should be approximately 1/4” below top of oil tank baffle. Replenish as needed with Dixon BlueTM 15W-50 Synthethic Hydrostatic Fluid or a quality SAE 20W-50 motor oil. DO NOT OVERFILL. When checking the oil level, be very careful to keep the reservoir clean.

Change the oil in the reservoir and hydrostat transmission oil filter after the first 100 hours of use. Then every 500 hours after that. Remove the filter and be sure all oil has drained from the reservoir. Replace with a new OEM filter (P/N 18045) and Dixon BlueTM 15W-50 Synthetic Hydrostatic Fluid or a quality SAE 20W-50 motor oil.

Please dispose of used oil at proper collection centers.
