See Figure 24.
1. Remove the cap from the expansion
tank.
2. Fill the expansion tank with 15W-50
synthetic motor oil (Ariens p/n

reaches the cold fill line on the tank.
3. Install the expansion tank cap and then
purge the system. See "Purging the
Hydraulic System" on page 27.
The hydraulic fluid should
be at the cold fill line of the
expansion tank.
