(B) and the filter guard (C).
6. Clean the area around the filter base and remove the
filter.
7. Apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new
replacement filter. After the oil has drained, clean the
area where the filter gasket will seat and then thread
the new filter onto the filter base until the gasket makes
contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn more.
8. If equipped, re-install the filter guard with the three 1/4”
filter guard screws.

10. To add oil to the system, use a hand pump that is rated
at less than 10 psi (0,7 bar). A pump rated at or above 10
psi (0,7 bar) could damage the transaxle service valve.
Install the hose of the hand pump assembly to the center
port of the transaxle service valve.
NOTICE
Do not add oil to the system through the
transmission oil expansion tanks after draining the oil
from the transaxle. The oil must be added through the
transaxle service valve.
11. Rotate the transaxle service lock (A,
Figure 34)
clockwise
to release the lever. Rotate the
lever (B)
counter-clockwise
to the position labelled as
"LH" on the decal as referenced as "C" in Figure 34.

12. Add 2 quarts (1,9 L) of oil through the center port of the
transaxle service valve using the hand pump.
