Access to the fill plug can be gained by removing
the battery and the tray that supports the battery.
See Figure 6.5.
•
Disconnect the negative (black) cable first, and
reconnect it last when the battery is reinstalled.
•
After both cables are removed using a pair of 7/
16” wrenches, remove the battery hold-down.
•
Carefully lift-out the battery.
•
Remove the battery tray.

Customers and unfamiliar technicians may
attempt to add or check the fluid level at the vent
cap on the plastic over-flow reservoir.
See Figure 6.6.
6.7.
After a thorough cleaning, to prevent contamina-
tion of the fluid, the fill plug can be removed
using a 1/4” allen wrench. See Figure 6.7.
6.8.
Between 5 deg. - 100 deg. f (10 deg. - 38 deg.
c), the fluid level should be 1” - 1.25” (2.54cm -
3.18cm) from the top of the housing.
Total capacity is .600 - .632 gal. (2271ml -
2391ml) of 20W-50 motor oil having an API clas-
sification of SH/CD.
6.9.
The transaxle must be removed and inverted to
drain the fluid out.
6.10. After a fluid change, purge the system and top-
up the fluid to the correct level:
•
With the engine at idle speed, and the by-pass
valve open, slowly cycle the control lever from
full forward to full reverse positions 5 or 6 times.
•
Check fluid level, close the by-pass valve, and
repeat the previous step. When the transaxle
operates normally, without excessive noise, the
purge process is complete; all the air is out of
the system.
•
Air in the system will cause a “growling” noise,
and sluggish performance.
6.11. In normal service, fluid replacement should not
be necessary, but in the event of fluid contami-
nation or degradation, it can be done.
