Changing Transmission Fluid
CAUTION
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key before
changing or checking the oil.
• Allow transmission case to cool down sufficiently; oil can be
hot and may cause burns.
The fluid in the transmission case is also used for the hydrostatic
drive system.
1. To drain the transmission oil, place oil pan underneath the
transmission case and remove the drain plug (2).
2. After draining, disassemble and clean the strainer (5) and change
the oil filter cartridge (7). After reassembling, fill with UDT or
SUPER UDT hydrostatic transmission fluid, or its equivalent.
3. Remove the oil plug and fill with the new oil.
4. After running the engine for a few minutes, stop it and check the
oil level again; add oil to the prescribed level.
IMPORTANT
■
• Operate only at low rpm immediately after changing the
transmission fluid and filter cartridge.
Keep the engine at medium speed for a few minutes to
insure proper lubrication of all parts so that there is no
damage to transmission.
• Do not engage PTO before checking the oil level.
