3. Unscrew the dipstick from the top of the transaxle
and wipe it with a clean rag.
4. Screw the dipstick into the transaxle and ensure that
it is fully seated.
5. Unscrew the dipstick and check the fluid level.
The fluid should be up to top of the flat portion
of the dipstick.
6. If the level is low, add enough fluid to achieve the
proper level.
Checking the High Flow
Hydraulic Fluid (If so
equipped)
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The high flow hydraulics reservoir is filled with
approximately 4 US gallons (15 l) of high quality
hydraulic fluid. Check the level of hydraulic
fluid before the engine is first started and daily
thereafter.
1. Clean the area around the filler neck and the cap
of the hydraulic tank (Figure 17). Remove the cap
from the filler neck.

2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 17) from the filler neck
and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into
the filler neck; then remove it and check the fluid
level. The fluid level should be between the two
marks on the dipstick.
3. If the level is low, add the appropriate fluid to raise
the level to the upper mark. Refer to Changing the
High Flow Hydraulic Fluid
4. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
5. Start the engine and turn on the attachment. Let
them run for about two minutes to purge air from
the system. Stop the engine and attachment and
check for leaks.
Important: The vehicle must be running
before starting the high flow hydraulics.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and
lines are in good condition and all hydraulic
connections and fittings are tight before
applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is
injected into your skin.
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 18).
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.
