rear of the battery compartment under the seat.
2. Lubricate the new filter base with a few drops of
transmission oil. Fill the filter half full of oil.
3. Clean the area around the filter base and remove the
filter. Do NOT drain the hydraulic system oil.
4. Thread the new filter onto the filter base until the
gasket makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn

NOTE: The oil will drain from the reservoir tank if the new
filter is not quickly reinstalled.
5. Run the unit for several minutes and check the
transmission oil level (see previous page).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing the filter;
air in the hydraulic system may affect the responsiveness
of the control levers. Repeat step 5 until the air is out of
the system.
