Check / Fill Transmission Oil

Oil Type: 20W-50 conventional detergent motor oil.

1. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. Locate the

 

transmission oil reservoirs (A, Figure 24) located on the

 

seat support plate. The oil should be up to the “FULL

 

COLD” mark (B). If the oil is below this level, proceed

 

to step 2.

2. Before removing the reservoir caps, make sure the area around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the reservoir is free of dust, dirt, or other debris. Remove the reservoir cap.

3. Add oil up to the “FULL COLD” mark (B).

4. Reinstall the reservoir caps.

9. Continue to add oil to the transmission oil reservoirs until the oil level reaches the “FULL COLD” mark. Reinstall the oil reservoir cap.

10. Repeat this process for the other side of the machine.

11.Run the unit for several minutes and check the transmission oil level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing the filter; air in the hydraulic system may affect the responsiveness of the ground speed control levers. Repeat step 11 until the air is out of the system.
