2. Rotate both steering rods equal amounts to adjust the
toe-in to 1/8 to 1/4 in. (3 to 6 mm).
3. Hold each tie rod end with one wrench and tighten the
jam nut with a second wrench.
Important
Ensure that the flat surface on the top of
the front tie rod ends is parallel to the bottom of the
steering arm (Fig. 45).

Changing Transaxle Fluid
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.
Replace the transaxle fluid and filter at 50 hours initially,
then every 200 hours thereafter.
Fluid Type: SAE 10W-30 Detergent oil (API service SG,
SH or above)
Transaxle Capacity:
Total system capacity: 6.0 qts.
Approximate refill capacity: 4.5 qts.
Fluid Type: SAE 10W-30 Detergent oil (API service SG,
SH or above)

Checking the Transaxle Oil
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, lower the
attachment lift, stop the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
3. Tilt the seat up.
4. Clean around the transmission dipstick (Fig. 46) so dirt
cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the
transaxle.

5. Pull out the transmission dipstick and wipe the metal
end clean (Fig. 46).
6. Slide the dipstick fully into the filler tube (Fig. 46).
7. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end (Fig.
47).
When the transaxle is cold, oil should be in the
operating range, below the full line on the dipstick.

8. If the oil level is low, slowly pour only enough SAE
10W-30 detergent oil into the filler tube to raise the
level to the full line.
Important
Do not fill above the full line because the
fluid may overflow.
