•
inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades are intact and
clean.,
=
Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clippings and other

TRANSAXLE
PUMP FLUID LEVEL
(See Figs. 16 & 17)
Checkfluid level after every 25 hours ofuse, Reardrawbar
must be removed to check fluid level
=
Remove the four (4) fasteners to remove the d rawbar.
°
Clean reservoir thoroughly before removing cap.
o
Check for proper fluid fevel in reservoir (should be
above the "OIL LEVEL COLD" line),.
o
if oil is needed, remove cap on reservoir (with a
clockwise rotation), and fill to "OIL LEVEL COLD" line
with SAE 10W30 oi! (API - SG),
•
Replace cap securely (do not overtighten)_

OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc)
improvestarting in cold weather, these multFviscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oiI_
Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and
every 50 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the
tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year..
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.,
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Fig, 18)
Determine temperature range expected before oHchange..
All oil must meet API service classification SG
=
Be sure tractor is on level surface,
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Catch oil in a suitable container,
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick_ Be careful not 1oallow dirt
to enter the engine when changing oil
Remove drain plug,
After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug
and tighten securely.
Refill engine with oil through oil fill dipstick tube, Pour
slowly, Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see
"PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"
on page 3 of this
manual
Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level,
insert dipstick into the tube and rest the oil fill cap on the
tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube when taking
reading
Keep oil at "FULL" line on dipstick, Tighten
cap onto the tube securely when finished
