HYDROSTAT FLUID MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURE:

Check the fluid level in hydrostatic transmisison fluid reservoir after every 25 hours of usage. Clean the fluid reservoir cap and the area around it prior to removal. Check the fluid level. Fluid should be approximately 1/4” below top of fluid tank baffle. Replenish as needed with Dixon Blue™ 15W-50 Synthetic Hydrostatic Fluid. DO NOT OVERFILL. When checking the fluid level, be very careful to keep the reservoir clean.

Change the fluid in the reservoir and hydrostatic transmission fluid filter after the first 100 hours of use, then every 500 hours after that. Remove the filter and be sure all fluid has drained from the reservoir. Replace with a new OEM filter (P/N 18045) and Dixon Blue™ 15W-50 Synthetic Hydrostatic Fluid.

CAUTION: Dixon Blue™ is only compatible with standard 20W-50 motor oil or similar synthetic motor oils.
