Servicing the Engine
Refer to Engine Owner’s Manual.
Servicing the Hydraulic Oil
The machine is shipped with hydraulic oil in the
reservoir.
1. Run the machine for approximately 15 minutes to
allow any extra air to purge out of the hydraulic
system.
2. Check hydraulic reservoir and if necessary fill the
reservoir to the appropriate level with Exmark
Premium Hydro oil.
3. Replace hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten until
snug.
Do Not overtighten.
Note:
The baffle is labeled “HOT” and “COLD”.
The oil level varies with the temperature of the oil.
The “HOT” level shows the level of oil when it is at
225°F (107°C). The “COLD” level shows the level of
the oil when it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the appropriate
level depending upon the temperature of the oil. For
example: If the oil is about 150° F (65°C). Fill to halfway
between the “HOT” and “COLD” levels. If the oil is at
room temperature (about 75° F (24°C)), fill only to the
“COLD” level.
