Transmission Oil Filter
Change
Change Interval: Every 200 Hours
Filter Part Number: 5101026X1
Oil Type: 20W-50 conventional detergent motor oil.
1. Locate the transmission oil filters (A, Figure 23)
underneath the rear of the machine on the
transmissions.
2. Remove the three 1/4” filter guard screws (C) and the
filter guard (B).
3. Clean the area around the filter base and remove the
filter.
4. Apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new
replacement filter. After the oil has drained, thread
the new filter onto the filter base until the gasket
makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn more.

screws
6. Using a hex bit swivel socket or a modified allen

until oil appears at the bottom of the transmission’s
top port (approximately 2 qts (1,89L).
8. Reinstall the top port plug and tighten to 15 ft lbs
(20,38 Nm).
9. Continue to add oil to the transmission oil reservoirs
until the oil lever reaches the “FULL COLD” mark (B,
Figure 24). Reinstall the oil reservoir cap.
10.Repeat this process for the other side of the machine.
11.Run the unit for several minutes and check the
transmission oil level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing the
filter; air in the hydraulic system may affect the
responsiveness of the control levers. Repeat step 11
until the air is out of the system.
Do not allow dirt, water, or other debris to
enter the expansion chamber or
transmission. Even a small amount of dirt
can damage the transmission
