CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CHECKING & REPLENISHING OIL IN HYDROSTATIC
TRANSMISSION:
Dirt or water in oil can ruin the
hydrostatic transmissions.
Check the oil level in hydrostatic transmission oil
reservoir after every 25 hours of usage. Clean the oil
reservoir cap and the area around it prior to removal.
Check the oil level. Oil should be approximately 1-3/8”
below top of oil tank. Replenish as needed with
SAE 20W-50 motor oil. DO NOT OVERFILL. When
checking the oil level, be very careful to keep the
reservoir clean.
Change the oil in the reservoir and hydrostat
transmission oil filter after the first 100 hours of use.
Then every 500 hours after that. Remove the filter
and be sure all oil has drained from the reservoir.
Replace with new filter and SAE 20W-50 motor oil.
Please dispose of used oil at proper collection centers -
