OIL, FILTER AND LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Refilling the Transmission
Refill the transmission through the oil fill/dipstick hole with
12 L of Citgo Transguard Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (or equiva-
lent). Alternately, Mobil Delvac 1, 5W30 synthetic oil may
be used,especially if operating the Centaur under extreme cold
or hot weather conditions; this Mobil oil may be used in the
engine also. Start the engine and run for a minute to fill the
oil filter and hydrostatic transmission. Check that the oil level
is even with the mark on the dipstick, after it has been seated
fully in the dipstick hole. DO NOT OVERFILL.
6.3 FILTER INFORMATION
6.3.1 Air Filter
The Centaur is equipped with a filter element housed in an air
cleaner assembly located above the clutch.
Check the paper air filter element every 100 hours of opera-
tion or more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
For instructions to remove, clean and replace the air filter
components, refer to the air cleaner section of the engine
owner’s manual.
6.3.2 Fuel Filter
950
The gasoline powered Centaur is equipped with an in-line
fuel filter (Part No. 125-64).
The fuel filter is located in the fuel hose, next to the fuel tank.
Replace the fuel filter after every 300 hours of operation or
once a year. To replace the filter, loosen the gear clamps with
a standard screw driver and pull the rubber fuel lines off of
the filter. Install the new filter with the flow arrow pointing
toward the engine. Tighten the clamps
securely. Start the en-
gine and check for fuel leaks.
950DT
The diesel powered Centaur is equipped with a fuel filter as-
sembly comprised of a replaceable element, water separator
bowl, and water level sensor.
If the fuel filter warning light comes on while engine is run-
ning, stop engine and drain water from fuel filter.
1. Stop engine.
2. Place a drain pan under fuel filter and loosen drain plug
approximately 1 turn.
3. Water should drain. If necessary, operate priming pump
to drain water, but only until fuel flows from filter.

4. Tighten drain plug. Bleed air from fuel line.
5. Start engine. Make sure warning light goes out. Check
for leaks.
To replace fuel filter element:
1. Disconnect sensor wire. Remove drain plug and discard
O-ring.
2. Remove fuel filter with filter wrench.
3. Screw new filter on by hand until gasket contacts hous-
ing. Then tighten 1/3 turn more.
4. Install drain plug with new O-ring. Connect sensor wire.
5. Bleed air from fuel line. Start engine and check for leaks.
Do not operate the fuel injector pump dry. Ensure the
pump is primed with fuel before starting to prevent dam-
age to the pump.
6.3.3 Engine Oil Filter
During the initial engine break-in period, change the oil filter
(Part No. 126-95 for gas engines & No. 820314 for diesel)
when the oil is changed. After that, change the oil filter every
300 hours.
Before installing the new filter, lubricate the rubber filter gas-
ket with fresh oil. Screw the filter on by hand until the gasket
contacts filter adapter. Tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn more. Start
and run engine to check for oil leaks. Stop engine and re-
check oil level. Add oil if required.
