Checking the Front Differential
Oil Level (Four-wheel drive
models only)
Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Monthly (whichever
comes first)
The differential is filled with Mobil 424 hydraulic oil.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the fill/check plug on side of
the differential (Figure 20).
1. Fill/check plug
3. Remove the fill/check plug and check the level of the
oil. The oil should be up to hole. If the oil is low, add
Mobil 424 hydraulic oil.
4. Install the fill/check plug.
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in failure or loss of a wheel and may
result in personal injury.
Torque the front and rear wheel nuts to 109 to 122
N-m (80 to 90 ft-lb) after 1 to 4 hours of operation
and again after 10 hours of operation. Torque every
200 hours thereafter.

Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The air pressure in the front tires is 220 kPa (32 psi) and the
rear tires is 124 kPa (18 psi).
Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation.
If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires
will wear prematurely.
Figure 21 is an example of tire wear caused by under inflation.
1. Under inflated tire
Figure 22 is an example of tire wear caused by over inflation.
1. Over inflated tire
Checking the Brake Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the brake
fluid level.
Every 1,000 hours/Every 2 years (whichever comes
first)—Change the brake fluid.
The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory filled
with DOT 3 brake fluid. Check the level before the engine is
first started and every 8 hours or daily, thereafter.
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the dash.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. The fluid level should be up to the Full line on the
reservoir (Figure 23).
