Check Hydraulic Oil Level
Oil Type: SAE 20W-50 motor oil
1. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. The oil
should be up to the “FULL COLD” mark on the
transmission oil reservoirs (A, Figure 19). If the oil
is below this level proceed to step 2.
2. Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure
the area around the reservoir cap and fill neck of
the reservoir is free of dust, dirt and other debris.
Remove the reservoir caps.
3. Add oil up to the “FULL COLD” mark.
4. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
Change Hydraulic Oil Filter
Change Interval: Every 400 Hours (Initial hydraulic
oil and filter change after first 100 hours of operation)
Filter Part Number: 5101978X2
NOTE: Removing the oil filter from the transmission
will drain the oil reservoir. Have a suitable container
ready to catch any spilled oil. The manufacturer
recommends this be a dealer-only service item.
1. Locate the hydraulic oil filter (A, Figure 20) on the
side of the transaxle.
2. Remove the filter cover (C) and o-ring (B).
3. Inspect all parts for wear or damage, replacing as
necessary.
4. Remove and discard the hydraulic filter.
5. Install the new filter, new o-ring and filter cover.
Torque the cover to 40-45 ft. lbs. (54-61 Nm).
6. Add new hydraulic oil to the hydraulic oil reservoir,
until the “FULL COLD” mark is reached.
7. Run the unit for several minutes and check the
transmission oil level and add as necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing
the filter; air in the hydraulic system may affect the
responsiveness of the control levers. Repeat step 7
until the air is out of the system.
