R2000H — MAINTENANCE
Read carefully and follow the maintenance instructions in this
section. Always check the engine and transmission lubrication
before using the roller.
Before servicing or performing maintenance,
make sure that the engine is
off
, the parking
brake is
on
, the transmission control lever is
in the
neutral
position, and the spark plug is
disconnected
and secured away from the
spark plug.
WARNING
Lubrication
Refer to the lubrication chart below for proper lubrication of roller.
Follow the engine's manufacturer manual for engine lubrication.

Hydrostatic Transmission
1. Even minute amounts of foreign matter will cause major
damage. If the reservoir screen is damaged, it must be
replaced immediately.
2. The fluid will last under normal operating conditions, for the
life of the transmission. If overheating or water contamination
occurs, the oil will change from its normal reddish color to
black or milky and must be replaced.
3. To drain the fluid, remove the plastic reservoir and the 3/8-
16 hex head vent-plug from the top of the cast iron body.
4. To refill, reassemble the hex head vent-plug and the plastic
reservoir to the transmission. Refill through the reservoir with
clean fluid. With the transmission control lever in full forward
or reverse position, rotate the input pulley several times to
flush the internal mechanism of the transmission and re-
drain. Refill through the reservoir with an approved
transmission fluid.
5. Prior to running the roller, the transmission fluid level should
not be above the cold mark. Overfilling reduces the expan-
sion are in the reservoir and fluid will spill out at operating
temperatures.
6. Proper cooling is essential to both the performance and life
of the transmission. Cooling is dependent on the fan and the
fins on the body. Keep the fan tightened and replace it if the
blades become broken. Keep the cooling fins clean.
Cleaning the transmission with high pressure
water spray or live steam may force water into
the reservoir. A few drops of water in the system
will result in excessive oil expansion, loss of oil
through the vent hole in the reservoir, and a
loss of power at operating temperature. A shield
or cover should be placed over the reservoir
cover during cleaning operation or in other
situations where water maybe introduced into
the unit.
WARNING
The threads connecting the reservoir to the
aluminum body are left-handed. Turn
transmission upside down to drain.
