Transmission Maintenance; Oil Change - Husqvarna Rider 18 ProFlex Workshop Manual

Transmission maintenance

Oil change

Most garden owners do not have tools for or
experience of changing transmission oil. The
transmission probably has a longer operational life
than other ride-on mower components, this makes
transmission oil changes less important for most
customers. However, the transmission's operational
life is increased if oil changes are made.
If the Rider is used professionally it is
recommended that the engine oil is replaced after
the first 50 hours in service and then every 500
hours or at least once a year.
