Transmission Fluid
Transmission lubrication is essential and must be
maintained to ensure long life of the transmission. It is
extremely important to use proper fluid. Also, it is
important to check and change oil as outlined in the
maintenance schedule below.
Transmission Maintenance Schedule
• Check case housing for damage and possible fluid
leakage after each use.
• Check transmission fluid level every 100 hours or ever 6
months of operation, whichever comes first.
• Change transmission fluid every 1000 hrs or
immediately if water gets into it.
Transmission Fluid Type and Capacity
See also "Section 10 Specifications and Capacities" on
page 42.
• Type of Fluid: 5W30 Synthetic motor oil (S/N 460312+)

Transmission Oil Level Check
Refer to Figure 7-8
Check transmission oil level at the dip stick as follows:
1. Prepare vehicle for maintenance as outlined in steps
1-6 on page 24.
2. Allow enough time for transmission oil to settle before
checking oil level at the dipstick. Oil level may be
checked cold or after several hours of operation.
3. Clean around the dipstick before removing it to keep
dirt and debris out of the transmission.
4. Remove dipstick and wipe clean.
5. Fully insert dipstick and remove. Oil, hot or cold,
should be at the “H” mark on the dipstick but not over.
6. If oil level on dipstick is low, fill at the dipstick opening
with recommended oil. Repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 until
oil level on dipstick indicates full. Do not overfill.
