SECTION 6

OIL, FILTER AND LUBRICATION INFORMATION

There is limited space between the engine and transmis

sion. Cut down an empty plastic container to the correct

height so it will fit under the engine oil drain. Make sure

the container will hold the amount of oil in the engine.

A ziploc plastic bag makes a convenient oil container.

It conforms to the space available and can be closed

securely when the oil is drained,

then lifted neatly out

of the engine compartment.

PLEASE DISPOSE OF WASTE OIL PROPERLY TO

CONSERVE OUR ENVIRONMENT.

4. When all the oil has been drained from the engine, clean

and replace the drain plug. MAKE SURE it is properly

tightened before refilling the engine.

5. See Oil Filter Replacement in Section 6.3.3.

Refilling the Engine

Refill the engine through the oil fill with the correct amount

and grade of oil as indicated in Section 6.1.2. As you add oil,

frequently check the level with the dipstick. Do not overfill.

Start engine. Check for leaks. Stop the engine. Check the oil

level. Add oil only to the “F” mark on the dipstick.

6.2 TRANSMISSION OIL INFORMATION

6.2.1 Checking the Transmission Oil Level

Check the transmission oil level each day before operating

the Centaur. The Centaur is equipped with a transmission oil

dipstick (Figure 6-2). Position the vehicle so the transmission

is level. Clean the area around the dipstick before removing.

Remove the dipstick by pulling up.

The transmission oil level should be even with the mark on the

dipstick as shown in Figure 6-3. Add Citgo Transguard Tractor

Hydraulic Fluid (or equivalent) through the transmission oil

fill/dipstick hole until the transmission is filled to the correct

level. When the oil level is at the lower notch, approximately

one litre can be added. DO NOT OVERFILL. Replace the

dipstick securely.

Figure 6-3. Transmission Dipstick

6.2.2 Changing the Transmission Oil

Change the transmission oil after the first 25 hours of opera

tion. After this, change the transmission oil every 150 operat-

ing hours. Drain the

transmission oil using an oil change pump

accessory (Part No. 638-02) by drawing the oil through the oil

fill/dipstick hole. Dispose of the oil at a disposal site.

Refilling the Transmission

Refill the transmission through the oil fill/dipstick hole with

12 L of Citgo Transguard Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (or equiva

lent). Alternately, Mobil Delvac 1, 5W30 synthetic oil may be

used,especially if operating the Centaur under extreme cold

or hot weather conditions; this Mobil oil may be used in the

engine also. Start the engine and run for a minute to fill the

oil filter and hydrostatic transmission. Check that the oil level

is even with the mark on the dipstick, after it has been seated

fully in the dipstick hole. DO NOT OVERFILL.

6.3 FILTER INFORMATION

6.3.1 Air Filter

The Centaur is equipped with a filter element housed in an air

cleaner assembly located above the clutch.
