(API GL-5)
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Engage the parking brake.

5. If the fluid level is low, remove the fill plug and
add the specified fluid until it runs out of the hole
(
Figure 59 ).
6. Replace the fill plug and torque it to 20 to 27
N∙m (15 to 20 ft-lb).
Changing the Transaxle
Fluid
Service Interval: Every 800 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first)
Fluid Type: SAE 80W-90 (API MT-1) or SAE 80W-90
(API GL-5)
Fluid Capacity: 1.6 L (1.7 US qt)
1. Align a drain pan under the drain plug ( Figure
59 ).
2. Remove the fill plug and the seal ( Figure 59 ).
Note:
Retain the fill plug and seal for installation
in step 6 .
3. Remove the drain plug and the seal, and allow
the fluid to drain completely (
Figure 59 ).
Note:
Retain the drain plug and seal for
installation in step 4 .
4. Install the drain plug and seal, and torque it to
20 to 27 N∙m (15 to 20 ft-lb).
5. Fill the transaxle with the specified fluid until it
runs out of the fill hole.
6. Install the fill plug and seal, and torque it to 20 to
27 N∙m (15 to 20 ft-lb).
Checking the Neutral
Gear-Shift Position
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
When performing routine maintenance and/or engine
diagnostics, shift the transaxle into N
EUTRAL
. The
machine has a N
EUTRAL
position on the gear-shift
selector, which controls the neutral in the transaxle.
Perform the following steps to ensure that the neutral
shift lever operates the transaxle neutral correctly:
1. Set the gear-shift selector to the N
EUTRAL
position.
2. Rotate the secondary clutch ( Figure 66 ) to see if
it spins freely in the N
EUTRAL
position.
3. Set the gear-shift selector to the F
ORWARD
position.
4. Rotate the secondary clutch ( Figure 66 ) to see if
it rotates the rear wheels.
5. Set the gear-shift selector to the R
EVERSE
position.
6. Rotate the secondary clutch ( Figure 66 ) to see if
it rotates the rear wheels.
7. If any of these tests fail, proceed to Adjusting
the Neutral Gear-Shift Position (page 49) .
