Changing the Hydraulic Pump Filter

Change Interval: Every 400 Hours or Yearly (Initial hydraulic
oil and filter change after first 100 hours of operation)
Replacement Filter Number: 5109173
Note: Removing the oil filter from the hydraulic pump will
drain the oil from the pump. Have a suitable container ready
to catch any spilled oil.

1. Use a 5/16" allen wrench to unscrew the oil drain plug
(A, Figure 36). Drain the oil from the tank into a suitable
container.
2. Use a 5/8" socket wrench to unscrew the hydraulic
pump cap (C). The hydraulic filter (B) is attached to the
hydraulic pump cap. Therefore, you must purchase a
new hydraulic pump cap in order to replace the hydraulic
pump filter.
3. Screw on the new hydraulic pump cap. Tighten with a
5/8" socket wrench.
4. Replace the oil drain plug, and tighten with a 5/16" allen
wrench.
5. Fill the transmission oil tank with new hydraulic oil. See
the Check/Fill Hydraulic Oil Level section.

Checking Tire Pressures

Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the Specifications chart. Note that
these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown
provide proper traction and extend tire life.

Lubrication

Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in the following
lubrication points.
37
Grease:
A. front caster wheel axles and yokes
B. front caster wheel bearings
C. front axle pivot
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply
grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Use wheel bearing
grease. Automotive type, high temperature, lithium grease
may be used when this is not available.

Neutral Adjustment

The neutral system for this unit is a function of the hydraulic
pump.
1. Drive the unit to a flat level surface. Stop the unit and
engage the parking brake.
2. Without touching the ground speed control levers,
disengage the parking brake. If the unit moves, the
neutral system on the hydraulic pump is not correctly
adjusted. See your dealer for service.
