Each transaxle’s filter is located per Figure 4-11. A
standard oil filter wrench is used to change filter. The
threads are right handed.
Use a Hustler
®
approved filter
element only.
NOTE: The filter guard must be removed to access the
filter. Figure 4-11
IMPORTANT: When washing the mower, direct the spray
away (especially if using a power washer) from the
transaxle’s seals to prevent water intrusion and to ensure
component performance.
Fluid Changing Procedure
1. Park the unit on a level surface.
• Place the steering control levers in the park brake
position.
• Disengage the deck clutch.
• Remove the ignition switch key.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the three 1/4” filter guard screws and filter
guard. Clean any loose debris from around the filter.
Figure 4-12
3. Place an oil drain pan beneath the oil filter and remove
the oil filter from the transaxle.
4. After the oil has been drained, wipe the filter base
surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of
the new replacement filter.
5. Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to one full turn
after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface.
6. Re-install the filter guard with three 1/4” screws.
Torque the screws to 65 in.–lbs. each. Figure 4-12
7. Repeat steps 2–6 for the opposite side transaxle.
8. Drain oil filters of all free flowing oil prior to disposal.
Place used oil in appropriate containers.
9. IMPORTANT: Remove the top port plug from both
transaxles prior to filling with oil. This will allow the
transaxles to vent during oil fill. Figure 4-13
10. Remove the cap from the transaxle's expansion tank.
11. Fill with SAE 20W50 motor oil, 15W50 synthetic oil or
20W50 synthetic oil until oil just appears at the bottom
of each transaxles top port (approximately 2 qts. per
transaxle). Install the top port plug into each transaxle.
Torque plugs to 180 in.–lbs. Clean up any oil that
leaked from the ports. Figure 4-13
