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 ride-on mower is used professionally, it is
recommended to change the oil firstly after 50
hours use and every 300 hours use thereafter.
The transmission K 46 has a capacity for 2.2
litres/2,35 USqt (SAE10W/30 engine oil, grade
SF-CC).
The oil does not need changing in a manual
gearbox.
