Checking the
Transaxle/Hydraulic Fluid
Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The transaxle reservoir is filled with Dexron III ATF. Check
the level before the engine is first started and every 8 hours or
daily, thereafter. Capacity of system is .
Transaxle reservoir capacity: 7 l (7.5 qt).
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the dipstick (Figure 16).
1. Dipstick
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 (TC models
only)
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The high flow hydraulics reservoir is filled with approximately
15 l (4 gallons) 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.
1. Cap
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 Oil and Filter (TC models only) (page
49).
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.
