Check the oil level of the transmission
case before each use to see that it is
filled to the correct level. Before
checking the transmission oil level,
clean the area around the Transmis-
sion Oil Fill/Dipstick to prevent debris
from entering the transmission case.
Always keep the oil level between the
“FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the
dipstick. When checking the oil level,
the dipstick must be withdrawn and
wiped clean, then reinserted all the
way before being withdrawn again for
a true reading.
Adding Transmission Oil
WARNING: 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. See Figure 18.
Refer to the Lubrication Illustration for
information regarding the proper type
of oil to add to the transmission case.
See the Specifications Chart for the
quantity required.
