The check plug is located at the top center of the inside
case of each transaxle (outlaw transaxles have this plug on
the top). The transaxle can be filled with oil by removing
these check plugs from both transaxles and pouring the
oil in the hydro overflow tank, located behind the seat.
Oil will begin to run out of the check plug holes when the
transaxles are full. Use only 20w50 motor oil in the hydro
system.

Once the system is filled with oil, lift rear of mower until
rear tires are off the ground. Start engine, release parking
brake, stay clear of moving rear tires. Next, pull the neutral
bypass levers (located at the rear of the frame, on either
side of the muffler), move the drive arms forward and
backward 4 to 6 times slowly. This relieves any air that
may be trapped in the system. It may be necessary to add
more oil to the hydro overflow tank after 10-15 minutes of
running. These bypass levers also serve as a neutral for
moving the mower without the engine running.
SECTION 2: DRIVE BELT
Shown on the right is a typical pump belt tensioner for
your model mower.
Tightening the two ¾”jam nuts on the right side will
increase the belt tension on all models. Factory setting is
about .030” (about the thickness of a credit card) between
coils as shown.
