Installing the Transmission Filters
1.
Apply a thin coat of the specified hydraulic fluid
to the rubber seal of the new filters; refer to
Transmission Fluid Specification (page 45)
.
2.
Turn the filter clockwise until rubber seal
contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter
an additional 2/3 to 3/4 turn (
).
3.
Remove the vent plug at each transmission.
Adding Transmission Fluid
1.
Remove cap from the expansion tank, add the
specified transmission fluid to the tank until
fluid comes out of the transmission vent, and
install the plug; refer to
Specification (page 45)
and
Transmission Fluid Level (page 45)
.
2.
Repeat step
until fluid comes out of the vent of
the other transmission, and install the plug.
3.
Torque the vent plugs to 180 in-lb (20 N·m).
4.
Continue to adding the specified transmission
fluid until it reaches the FULL COLD line on
the expansion reservoir; refer to
in
Checking the Transmission Fluid Level (page
45)
.
5.
Raise the rear of machine up and support with
jack stands (or equivalent support) just high
enough to allow the drive wheels to turn freely.
CAUTION
Raising the machine for service
or maintenance relying solely on
mechanical or hydraulic jacks could be
dangerous. The mechanical or hydraulic
jacks may not be enough support or may
malfunction allowing the machine to fall,
which could cause injury.
Do not rely solely on mechanical
or hydraulic jacks for support. Use
adequate jack stands or equivalent
support.
6.
Start the engine and move the throttle control
ahead to 1/2 throttle position. Disengage the
parking brake.
WARNING
The engine must be running and the drive
wheels must be turning so motion control
adjustment can be performed. Contact
with moving parts or hot surfaces may
cause personal injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing
clear of rotating components and hot
surfaces.
7.
With the engine running, slowly move the
directional control in both forward and reverse
directions (5 to 6 times). Check the oil level, and
add oil as required after shutting off the engine.
It may be necessary to repeat step
until all air
is purged from the system. Air is purged from
the transaxle when it operates at normal sound
levels and moves forward and reverse smoothly
at normal speeds.
8.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, engage
the parking brake, and wait for all moving part
to stop.
9.
Remove the jack stands and lower the rear of
machine.
