2. Hydro Pumps
Check the level of the fluid in both of the fluid
reservoirs. Wipe away all dirt and debris from around
reservoir cap before removing. Oil must remain
absolutely clean! Check with machine on a level
surface with engine "OFF". Fill reservoir as needed to
bring level up. The reservoir is properly filled when the
fluid level is 1½" below the top of the filler neck. DO
NOT OVER FILL. Use clean, fresh premium
automotive oil having a viscosity equivalent to SAE
20W50 API SL. The fluid should be chemically stable,
incorporating rust and oxidation inhibitors. Make sure
funnels, pouring spouts and oil can are completely
clean. Reinstall reservoir cap. See Figure 4.6.
3. Other Lubrication Points
Lubricate machine caster wheel shafts, traction idler
arm and mower deck idler arms with Kendall NLGI No.
2 lithium grease or equivalent, from a grease gun. See
Figure 4.7.
