ADDING TRANSMISSION OIL
CAUTION
Never overfill the transmission case. Damage
may result if the oil level in the transmission
case is below the “ADD” mark or over the
“FULL” mark of the dipstick. For best results, fill
to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick as opposed
to adding a given quantity of oil. Always check
the level on the dipstick before adding more oil.
Refer to the LUBRICATION TABLE for information
regarding the proper type of oil to add to the
transmission case.
1. Place the tractor on a level surface and engage the
brake pedal lock. Stop the tractor engine and
remove the ignition key.
2. Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to
prevent debris from entering the transmission
case.
3. Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick from the oil fill port
and SLOWLY pour oil into the oil fill port. Fill the
transmission case until the oil level reaches the
“FULL” mark on the dipstick (Refer to Figure 22).
4. Reinstall the oil fill plug/dipstick securely into the
oil fill port.
CAUTION
The oil fill plug/dipstick MUST BE INSTALLED
SECURELY INTO THE FILL PORT AT ALL
TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING.
