Check / Fill Transmission Oil; Transmission Oil Filter Change - Snapper PRO S200XT Operator's Manual

Maintenance
Check / Fill Transmission Oil Level
This unit is equipped with two transmission oil tanks.
One transmission oil tank only supplies oil to one
transmission. The level of oil in both transmission tanks
must be check, and if necessary, filled.
Oil Type: SAE 20W-50 motor oil
1. Locate the transmission oil tanks (A, Figure 24).
2. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. The oil
should be up to the "FULL COLD" mark (B) on the
transmission oil tanks. If the oil is below this level,
proceed to step 3.
3. Before removing the tank cap (C), make sure the
area around the tank cap and fill neck of the tank is
free of dust, dirt and other debris. Remove the tank
caps.
4. Add oil up to the "FULL COLD" mark.
5. Re-install the tank caps.
6. After adding oil to the tanks, it may be necessary to
purge air from the hydraulic system. If the unit is not
driving properly perform the Purging the Air from
the Hydraulic System procedure.

Transmission Oil Filter Change

Change Interval: Every 400 Hours or yearly (Initial
hydraulic oil filter change after first 100 hours of
operation).
Filter Part Number: 5101987X2
Note: Removing the oil filter from the transaxle will
drain the oil tank. Have a suitable container ready to
catch any spilled oil. The manufacturer recommends
that this be a dealer only service item.
1. Locate the hydraulic oil filter on the side of the
transaxle.
2. Remove the oil filter cover (A, Figure 25) from the
transaxle to drain the oil. Remove the O-ring (B)
from the cover and discard the O-ring.
3. After the oil has drained from the transaxle, remove
the oil filter (C) from the transaxle housing.
4. Install a new filter and a new O-ring onto the filter
cover and install the filter cover. Torque the filter
cover to 480-580 in-lbs (54.2 - 65.5 Nm).
5. Remove the top oil fill vent port (D) and fill the
transaxle with new 20W50 motor oil through the
expansion tank until the oil reaches the oil fill vent
port.
6. Install the top oil fill vent port plug and continue
filling the system with oil until the fill line is reached
in the expansion tank.
7. Repeat this process for the other side of the
machine.
8. Perform the Purging the Air from the Hydraulic
System procedure.
