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.
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 Automatic 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 fitting.
See Figure 5-12.
