HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION OIL & FILTER
SERVICE:
Dirt or water in oil can ruin the hydrostatic transmissions.
SERVICE INTERVALS:
1. Initial filter service - 50 hours
2. Every 250 hours or once a year thereafter.
OIL REQUIREMENTS:
Any high quality engine oil with an API classification of
SG/CD is recommended.
RECOMMENDED OIL WEIGHT:
Normal operation temperatures - 20W50
Cold climate usage - 10W40
Another alternative that will provide excellent all-climate
performance and extended time between oil changes is
a 15W50 synthetic engine oil.
OIL FILTER: P/N 18045 - IMPORTANT
The oil filter is a special design for use on
“vacuum or suction” oil flow systems.
DO NOT: Use automotive engine oil filters. These
filters require a “pressure” to allow oil flow.
Usage will result in an “air-lock” condition
with possible damage.
