2. Hydro Pumps
Check the level of the fluid in both of the fluid reser-
voirs. Wipe away all dirt and debris from around reser-
voir cap before removing. Oil must remain absolutely
clean! Check with machine on a level surface with
engine "OFF". Fill reservoir as needed to bring level
up. The reservoir is properly filled when the fluid level
is 1½" below the top of the filler neck. DO NOT OVER
FILL. Use clean, fresh premium automotive oil having
a viscosity equivalent to SAE 20W50 API SL. The fluid
should be chemically stable, incorporating rust and
oxidation inhibitors. Make sure funnels, pouring spouts
and oil can are completely clean. Reinstall reservoir
cap. See Figure 4.6.
NOTE: In order to raise operator seat to access
reservoirs, seat must be in rearmost position.
