Remove oil drain cap from the right side of engine block and replace drain cap. Remove oil filter and replace. Put a light coat of clean oil on the filter gasket before installing. Fill engine with oil using manufactur- ers specs, see Kawasaki owner’s manual. Start engine and idle slowly to allow the oil to recoat the interior of the engine and then inspect for leaks.

14.Hydraulic filter and oil: Change every 500 hours or yearly. Stop engine and remove key. Clean around the filter and the drain plug on the bottom side of the tank. Remove the filter and allow any oil to drain from the filter head. Then replace with new filter. Use only Husqvarna p/n 102606, filter which has a bypass valve and the correct micron filter. Remove one of the hydraulic lines from the bottom of the tank and allow the tank to drain, reinstall the hydraulic line. Fill tank with synthetic 15W - 50 Mobil 1. 1” below the fill tube and replace cap. Block up the rear of unit until wheels will rotate freely and start engine at a slow idle, move the control levers forward and run for several minutes. Stop engine and recheck oil level. If wheels don’t response an air lock has occurred within the hydraulic system. Bleed air from lines, or let stand overnight to allow the air time to dissipate out of the oil. Retry responses & check the oil level. Note: Serious damage to the pumps and wheel motors can occur if the system is ran with an air lock.
