Changing your hydraulic oil and filter
Extreme 5400
1)
Place an oil drain pan (12” or more in diameter
and 8 qt.
capacity is optimal) beneath the oil
filter. Remove the oil
filter cover from the
transaxle to drain the oil. Remove the
O-
ring from the cover and discard the O-ring.
2)
After the oil has drained from the transaxle,
remove
the oil filter from the transaxle housing.
3)
Install a new filter and a new O-ring onto the
filter
cover and install the filter cover. Torque the
filter cover
to 200-300
in-lbs.
4)
Remove the top oil fill vent port plug as seen in
the
picture to the right. Fill the transaxle with
new 20W-50
through the hydraulic reservoir
tank until the oil
reaches the oil fill vent port.
5)
Install the top oil fill vent port plug and continue
filling
the system with oil until the fill line is
reached in the expansion tank.
6)
Drain the old oil filter of all free flowing oil prior
to disposal. Place used oil in appropriate
containers
and deliver to an approved recycling
collection facility.
7)
Proceed to the purge procedure below.
Purging Procedure
Due to the effects air has on the efficiency
in hydrostatic drive applications, it is critical
that the air is purged from the system.
These purge procedures should be
implemented any time a hydrostatic system
has been opened to facilitate maintenance
or any additional oil has been added to the
system.
1)
Lift the rear tires of the mower off of
the ground and chock your front
tires so they do no move.
2)
With the bypass valve open and the engine running,
slowly move the directional drive arms in the
forward
and reverse directions (5 to 6 times), as air is purged
from the unit, the oil level will drop.
3)
With the bypass valve closed and the engine running,
slowly move the directional drive arms in
the forward
and reverse directions (5 to 6 times). Check the oil
level, and add oil as required after
stopping the
engine.
4)
It may be necessary to repeat steps 1 and 2 until all
the air is completely purged from the system.
When
the transaxle moves forward and reverse at normal
speed purging is complete.
