WARNING
Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the
same position as the original parts or fire could result.
Fuse Location and Identification
The electrical system for this unit is equipped with a
replaceable fuse. See the chart below for the circuit,
amperage, and approximate location of the fuses.
Circuit Amperage Approximate Location
Main 20 amp Center of the unit and
near the battery.
Check / Fill Transmission Oil Level
This unit is equipped with two transmission oil tanks. One
transmission oil tank only supplies oil to one transmission.
The level of oil in both transmission tanks must be checked,
and if necessary, filled.
Oil Type: 20W-50 conventional detergent motor oil.
1. Location the transmission oil tanks (A, Figure 21).

2. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. The oil should be
up to the "FULL COLD" mark (B). If the oil is below this
level, proceed to step #3.
3. Before removing the tank caps (C), make sure the area
around the tank cap and fill neck of the tank is free of
dust, dirt, or other debris. Remove the tank cap.
4. Add oil up to the "FULL COLD" mark.
5. Reinstall the tank caps.
6. After adding oil to the tanks, it may be necessary to purge
air from the hydraulic system. If the unit is not driving
properly, see your dealer.
Transmission Oil Filter Change
Change Interval: Every 400 Hours or Yearly (Initial hydraulic
oil and filter change after first 100 hours of operation).
It is recommended that changing the hydraulic oil and
transmission filter be a dealer only service item.
Purging the Air from the Hydraulic
System
Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydraulic drive
systems, it is critical that it be purged from the system.
These purge procedures should be implemented any time a
hydraulic system has been opened to facilitate maintenance
or any additional oil has been added to the system.
The resulting symptoms of air in the hydraulic system may be:
• Noisy operation.
• Lack of power or drive after short term operation.
• High operation temperature and excessive expansion of
oil.
Before starting, make sure the transaxles/transmissions are
at the proper oil levels. If it is not, fill to the specifications
outlined in the Check / Fill Transmission Oil Level procedure.
Purging Air from the Hydraulic System:
1. Chock the front wheels to prevent the machine from
rolling. Raise the rear of the machine so that the vehicle’s
rear tires do not contact the ground. Position jack stands
under the rear bumper of the machine to secure it.
2. Open the transaxle’s bypass valves (see Pushing the
Rider by Hand for the location and function of the bypass
valves), start the engine, release the parking brake, and
slowly move the zero-turn rider’s ground speed control
levers in both forward and reverse directions (5 to 6
times), as air is purged from the unit, the oil level will
drop.
3. Stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
4. Close the transaxle’s bypass valves, start the engine,
release the parking brake, and slowly move the zero-turn
rider’s ground speed control levers in both forward and
reverse directions (5 to 6 times), as air is purged from the
unit, the oil level will drop.
5. Stop the engine. Remove the jack stands from
underneath the machine.
6. Repeat the process detailed above but with the unit's
drive wheels on the ground. The procedure should be
performed in an area free of any objects or bystanders.
It may be necessary to repeat the process detailed above
until all the air is completely purged from the system. When
the transaxles/transmissions operate at normal noise levels
and move smoothly forward and reverse at normal speeds,
then the transaxles/transmissions are considered purged.
