Checking Transmission/Hydraulic System Oil Level - Cub Cadet 7000 Series Owner's Manual

Hazard Light Flasher Relay
The flasher relay controls the on/off flashing of the
hazard lights. If the hazard lights do not function
properly, the flasher relay is probably faulty.
Replace the relay as follows:
• Remove the dash panel insert by removing the
two screws. Refer to Figure 40.
• Pull the wire harness from the dash opening.
Cut and remove the electrical tape holding the
flasher relay to the harness. See Figure 43
• After first noting the position of the two harness
leads, disconnect the leads and replace the
faulty relay with a new relay.
• Secure the relay to the wire harness with
electrical tape.
• Position the wire harness in the dash panel and
reinstall the dash panel insert.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM OIL LEVEL
Check the hydro transmission/hydraulic system oil
level after every 50 hours of operation. Check the
oil level only while the engine is stopped and the
tractor is standing on a level surface.
The oil fill plug/dipstick is located at the rear of the
tractor, above the rear PTO shield. See Figure 44.
• Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to
prevent debris from entering the transmission
housing. See Figure 44.

• Turn the oil fill plug/dipstick counterclockwise to
unscrew from the transmission housing.
• Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it clean, then
reinsert and screw in all the way. Unscrew and
withdraw again to read the oil level. Always
keep the oil level between the add and full marks
on the dipstick (See Figure 44).
• If the oil level is low, add Cub Cadet hydraulic
oil. Loosely position a funnel in the fill hole so
that there is enough clearance around the fun-
nel to allow the transmission to vent while the
oil is poured into the transmission. Fill ONLY to
the full mark, never overfill the transmission.
NOTE: Always use Cub Cadet hydraulic oil to
ensure correct formulation. Substitute oils could
affect performance and may cause damage to the
transmission.
• Reinsert the oil fill plug/dipstick into the
transmission housing and turn clockwise until
tight.
