Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid
Checking Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid Level
The hydrostatic transmissions are sealed units
and do not need to be opened to check the fluid
level.
Hydrostatic fluid level should be checked
ev-
ery 25 hours
of machine operation. It is preferable
to
check the fluid when the fluid is cold.
Check
fluid levels as follows.
IMPORTANT: Removing or breaking the seal on
the hydrostatic reservoir cap within the first
1000 hours will VOID THE TRANSMISSION WAR-
RANTY.
1. Park the mower on a
level surface.
Stop the
engine and wipe dirt and contaminants from
around the base of the reservoir to better see
the
COLD
mark.
2. The level of the oil can be seen through the side
of the opaque reservoir
(DO NOT REMOVE
RESERVOIR CAP);
using a light next to the
reservoir will help make the level more visible.

reservoir
oil level should ALWAYS be at or
slightly above the COLD mark.

If the fluid is below the
COLD
mark (or the trans-
mission is not performing properly,
contact
your local dealer. Attempting to add fluid or
service the transmission may VOID THE
TRANSMISSION WARRANTY.
