Typically, an engine oil with a minimum rating 
of 9.0 cSt (55 SUS) at 230° F (110° C) and an 

20W50  engine  oil  has  been  selected  for  use 
by the factory and is recommended for normal 
operating procedures.

Fluid Volume and Level

Fluid  volume  information  is  provided  in
the table below.

to be added or even replaced. Refer to page 11 

operated for approximately 1 minute.

Purging will be required if oil has been changed. 
Refer to the purging procedures on page 12.

Transaxle Filter, Transaxle Fluid Changing and Purging

The following is from the Hydro-Gear® Transaxle Service and Repair Manual. 

This section covers the changing of the transaxle filter, changing the transaxle 

fluid and purging procedures.

Additional transaxle service and maintenance proceedures can be found in the

PURGING PROCEDURES

-

drostatic drive applications, it is critical that it is 
purged from the system. 

-

sion and expansion rate is higher than that of 
the  oil  approved  for  use  in  hydrostatic  drive 
systems.

These  purge  procedures  should  be  imple-
mented any time a hydrostatic system has been 
opened to facilitate maintenance or the oil has 
been changed. 

The resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems 
may be: 

1. Noisy operation.

2. Lack of power or drive after short term op-

eration.

3. High operation temperature and excessive

expansion of oil.

Before starting, make sure the transaxle is at 

-

cations outlined in this manual. 

The following procedures are best performed 
with  the  vehicle  drive  wheels  off  the  ground. 
Then repeated under normal operating condi-
tions. If this is not possible, then the procedure 
should  be performed in an open  area free of 
any objects or bystanders.

1. Disengage the brake if activated.

2. With the bypass valve (freewheel) open

 and the engine running,

  slowly move the

directional control in both forward and

 

reverse directions

 

(5 or 6 times).

3. With the bypass valve closed and 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 stopping the engine.

4. It may be necessary to repeat Steps 2 and

3 until all the air is completely purged from
the  system.  When  the  transaxle  operates
at normal noise levels and moves smoothly
forward and reverse at normal speeds, then
the transaxle is considered purged.
