Check Hydraulic Fluid Level
(Figure 8)
Check the system with the unit cold and
parked on a flat, level surface.
Then run the unit for about one minute and
recheck the levels.
To Add Hydraulic Fluid:
(Figure 8)
1. Remove the cap from the expansion
tank.
2. Fill the expansion tank with 20W-50
engine oil with an SL API classification
until oil level reaches the cold fill line on
the tank.
3. Install the expansion tank cap and then
purge the system. See Purging the
Hydraulic System on page 25.
The hydraulic fluid should be at the cold
fill line of the expansion tank.

Change Hydraulic Fluid and Filter
(Figure 9)
NOTE: Change hydraulic fluid and filter after
the first 75 hours of operation and then every
400 hours. Use 20W-50 engine oil with an SL
API classification.
1. Place container under oil filter to catch
oil.
2. Remove the filter guard and oil filter from
the transaxle.
3. Remove the oil drain plug or fitting from
the inlet port and allow the transaxle to
drain completely.
4. Clean the filter mounting surface and
then lubricate rubber gasket on new oil
filter with clean hydraulic oil.
5. Spin new oil filter onto filter housing until
it makes contact. Tighten oil filter
another three-fourths turn.
6. Install the filter guards removed in
step 2. Tighten the mounting screws to
7.3 N•m.
7. Fill with 20W-50 engine oil with an SL
API classification until oil appears at the
bottom of the drain plug (about 1.893 L
per transaxle). Install the drain plug and
tighten it to 20.3 N•m.
8. Repeat steps 1–7 for the other
transaxle.
9. Follow the instructions in To Add
