Check / Fill Transmission Oil
Oil Type: 20W-50 conventional detergent motor oil.
1. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. Raise the
seat plate to gain access to the transmission oil
reservoirs (A, Figure 27). 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 cap, 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, Figure
27).
4. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
Transmission Oil Filter Change
Change Interval: Every 200 Hours
1. Locate the transmission oil filters (A, Figure
28) underneath the rear of the machine on the
transmissions.
2. Remove the three 1/4” filter guard screws (C) and
the filter guard (B).
3. Clean the area around the filter base and remove
the filter.
4. Apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new
replacement filter. After the oil has drained, thread
the new filter onto the filter base until the gasket
makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn more.
5. Reinstall the filter guard with the three 1/4” filter
guard screws
6. Using a hex bit swivel socket or a modified
allen wrench remove the top port plug from the
transmissions.
7. Remove the transmission reservoir cap and
fill with oil until oil appears at the bottom of the
transmission’s top port (approximately 2 qts
(1,89L).
8. Reinstall the top port plug and tighten to 15 ft lbs
(20,38 Nm).
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.
