WARNING!
Before performing service near moving parts
such as blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn
the key switch to the OFF (#0) position and remove the key.
If the key is turned on and moving parts activated, serious
injury may result.
Drain and refill the fluid in the drive-side cylinder bearing housing every 500 hours of
operation.
For LT30HD/40HD rev. H3.00 and later, disconnect the oil level view hose from the fitting
at the top of the bearing housing. With the fitting at the bottom of the bearing housing still
connected, allow oil to drain from the oil level view hose. Once drained, pour fresh Auto-
matic Transmission Fluid (ATF) such as Dexron III ATF into the hose until the oil level is in
the acceptable range as indicated on the gauge decal. Reconnect the hose to the top fit-
ting.
See Figure 5-14.
