Transaxle Fluid
Service Interval/Specification
Check fluid level after every 100 hours or yearly
whichever comes first. Always keep the fluid level at
the full level when the transaxle is cold. The transaxle
is a sealed system and no changing of the fluid is
required.
Fluid Type: SAE 10W–30 Detergent oil (API service
SF or SG)
Checking Fluid Level
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key to "OFF" to stop the
engine. Remove the key.
2.
Open the hood.
3.
Clean around the fluid reservoir (Fig. 33) so
level is clearly visible and so dirt cannot fall into
the reservoir if fluid is added.
4.
When transaxle is cold add oil to "Full Cold"
line on reservoir (Fig. 33).
IMPORTANT: Do not fill above the full cold
line as fluid may overflow.
