Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester
Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other damage.
Remove the spark arrester, if equipped, and inspect
for damage or carbon blockage. If replacement parts
are required, make sure to use only original equipment
replacement parts.
WARNING
Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the
same position as the original parts or fire could result.
Checking Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the Specifications chart. Note that
these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown
provide proper traction and extend tire life.
Check/Fill Transmission Oil Level
Oil Type:
Mobil 1™ synthetic 15W-50 oil or equivalent.
CAUTION
Avoid injury! Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other
lines. Tighten all connection before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands
and body from high pressure fluid.
This unit is equipped with two transmission oil tanks (A,
Figure 20). One transmission oil tank only supplies oil to one
transmission. The level of oil in both transmission tanks must
be checked, and if necessary, filled.

1. Locate the transmission oil tanks. The transmission oil
tanks are located on the rear of the unit between the
operator support cushion (B) and the engine.
2. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. The oil should be
up to the “FULL COLD” mark (C) on the transmission oil
tanks. If the oil is below this level, proceed to step #3.
3. Remove the operator support cushion from the unit.
4. Before removing the tank cap (D), make sure that the
area around the tank caps and fill neck of the tank is free
of dust, dirt, and other debris. Remove the tank caps.
5. Add oil up to the “FULL COLD” mark.
6. Install the tank caps.
7. Install the operator support cushion to the unit.
8. After adding oil to the tanks, it may be necessary to purge
air from the hydraulic system. If the unit is not driving
properly perform the
Purging the Air from the Hydraulic
System
procedure
Changing Hydraulic Oil and Filter
