Transaxle Fluid

Service Interval/Specification
Check the fluid level every 25 hours. Always keep
the fluid level in the correct operating range on the
dipstick when the transaxle is cold.
Fluid Type: SAE 10W–30 Detergent oil (API service
SG, SH or above)
Checking the Fluid Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Tilt the seat up.
3. Clean around the transmission dipstick (Fig. 45)
so dirt cannot fall into the filler hole and damage
the transaxle.

metal end. When the transaxle is cold, oil should
be in the operating range, below the FULL line
on the dipstick (Fig. 46).
