CARE AND MAINTENANCE
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION OIL AND FILTER SERVICE
SERVICE INTERVALS: 1. Initial oil and filter service - 50 hours.
2. Every 250 hours thereafter.
OIL REQUIREMENTS: Any high quality engine oil with an API classification of SG/CD
is recommended.
RECOMMENDED OIL WEIGHT: Normal operation temperatures - 20 W 50
Cold climate usage - 10 W 40
Another alternative that will provide excellent all climate
performance and extended time between oil changes is
a 15 W 50 synthetic engine oil.
OIL FILTER: P/N 7252- 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.
