4. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and wipe it
with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck;
then remove it and check the fluid level. The fluid level
should be between the two marks on the dipstick.
5. If the level is low, add the appropriate fluid to raise the
level to the upper mark.
6. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
Checking the Planetary Gear Drive Oil
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Check the oil level after every 400 hours of operation or if
external leakage is noted. Use high quality SAE 85W-140 gear
lube as a replacement.
The capacity of the system is approximately 16 oz (0.5 l).
1. With the machine on a level surface, position the wheel
so that the check/drain plug (Figure 13) is at either the
3 or 9 o'clock position.

2. Add gear oil to the hole in the planetary, if necessary,
to bring the oil up to the proper level. Install the plug.
3. Repeat the procedure on the opposite gear assembly.
Checking the Rear Axle Lubricant
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
The rear axle is filled with SAE 85W-140 gear lube. Check the
oil level before the engine is first started and every 400 hours
thereafter. The capacity is 80 oz (2.4 l). Visually inspect for
leaks daily.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove a check plug from one end of the axle
(Figure 14) and make sure that the lubricant is up to the
bottom of the hole. If the level is low, remove the fill
plug (Figure 14) and add enough lubricant to bring the
level up to the bottom of the check plug holes.
