Hydrostatic Transmission (Self-Propelled models only) -
An EATON® Model 7 hydrostatic transmission (Figure 8)
provides the power for the saw's propulsion system. The
transmission drives a sprocket that directly connects the spline
drive to the rear wheels. The no load forward/reverse speeds
are approximately 24.4 m/min. (80 ft/min.).
Figure 8. Hydrostatic Transmission
The transmission is factory filled with approved hydraulic fluid
that has a viscosity equivalent to SAE 20W-20. Should additional
servicing be required, the following hydraulic fluids are
recommended:
z

It is essential to reference the
existing oil conditions (A) cold or (B)
