Lubrication Locations (Cont.)
Drive Shaft
The front fitting of the drive shaft can be reached
under the radiator from the right side of the power
unit, using a grease gun with a 13” (33 cm) or longer
rubber hose. Rotate the drive shaft so the grease
fitting is pointed directly toward the right side of
the power unit. Insert the hose from the right side,
under the hydraulic couplers and radiator, directly in
line with the grease fitting. Push the hose onto the
grease fitting and hold in place while greasing.
The rear fitting can be reached in back of the radia-
tor, after pulling back the canvas debris barrier.
Seat Slide

The front grease fitting on the 3 point cylinder can
be greased through an access hole (A) in the right
foot platform panel.
Optional 3-Point Hitch
Checking Hydraulic Oil Level
Check the hydraulic oil level when the hydraulic
system is cold, prior to operating the power unit. If
the hydraulic system is warm, allow one hour for the
hydraulic system to cool before checking the oil level.
Checking the oil level when the hydraulic system is
warm will produce an inaccurate oil level reading.

Attention
After connecting a new attachment or kit that runs
off the power unit’s hydraulic system, run the attach-
ment through a complete cycle, then stop and check
the hydraulic oil level.
Park the power unit on a level surface and adjust
the steering to aim the power unit straight ahead.
2. Fully raise the front hitch and lower the 3-point
hitch (if equipped).
3. Engage the parking brake and shut off the engine.
4. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
allow time for the hydraulic system to cool.

5. The hydraulic oil tank
(A) is located under the
hood and dash.
6. Check the oil level in
the plastic sight tube
(B) next to the hydraulic
oil tank. The oil level
should be within the
proper range indicated
by the oil level decal on
the hydraulic oil tank.
7. If the hydraulic oil level is below the low mark on
the decal, add HydroTorq XL synthetic hydraulic
oil until the proper level is reached.
