Check the hydrostatic fluid level in the reservoir.
At temperatures below
4 °F (
20 °C), fluid may not be visible in the
reservoir before operation, but should rise into the reservoir when the
transmission warms up.
Hydrostatic fluid expands and contracts with changes in temperature.
The UPPER and LOWER limit marks on the reservoir are calibrated for
room temperature fluid.
When checking the level of cold fluid, below room temperature, refer
to the temperature chart for appropriate fluid levels (page
It is normal for the fluid level to rise above the UPPER level mark when
snowblower operation warms the transmission.
