lubricated with grease. During initial operation of
mower, slight weeping of grease from these seals will
occur. Wipe off excess grease.
Important: Use only Mobil Dexron lll or equivalent
transmission fluids. Other fluids could cause
system damage.
When the transmission is warm, the
transmission fluid is hot and under pressure.
Allow the transmission to cool before servicing.
Use caution when removing the check, fill or
drain plugs from the transmission.
1. Place the mower on its drums on a level surface.

should come to the bottom of the hole. If it does
not, remove the fill plug, from the top of the
transmission, and add enough of the proper oil type
until the level reaches the bottom of the check hole.
