5.Clean transaxle exterior and expansion tank of any debris. A degreaser may be needed.

NOTE: Drain old oil filters of all free flowing oil prior to disposal. Place used oil and oil filter in appropriate containers and deliver to an approved collection facility.

6.Move actuator arm (#2) out of the way and unscrew the used oil filter (#5). Be sure to properly dispose the filter.

7.Remove expansion tank cover (#11) to facilitate drainage.

b.Apply a thin coat of oil on the rubber seal surface of the new filter (#5).

c.Screw filter on until it makes contact with the surface it seats against.

d.Tighten filter an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn more.

e.Install filter guard (#6) with three 1/4" screws (#7). Torque screws to 65 in-lbs.

f.Reattach actuator arm (#2) with clevis pin (#1), flat washer (#3) and hair pin cotter (#4) as shown.

10.Remove top port plug (#8). This will allow the transaxles to vent during oil fill.

11.Fill transaxle with oil by adding oil to the expansion tank (#10) until oil appears at the top port opening (approximately 2 qts.). See page 43 for transaxle oil specifications.

12.Install top port plug (#8). Tighten plug to 180 in-lbs. of torque.

13.Continue to add oil to the expansion tank until oil reaches the full cold line (approximately 1/2" up from the bottom of the tank).

NOTE: The fill tube (#9) should be hand squeezed several times to burp out air and to drain oil from the expansion tank into the tube. Be careful not to damage the tube while squeezing it. Use a protective cloth wrapped around the tube if using a tool to squeeze such as a pair of pliers.

14.Reinstall expansion tank cap (#11) by hand. Be careful to not overtighten.

15.Wipe off all excess oil. A degreaser may be needed to remove excess oil.

16.Repeat steps 1 thru 15 for the right side.
