5xi Series Tractor Service Manual
HYDROSTATIC DRIVE

General Information

All models of the 5xi series tractor are equipped
with the Toro Wheel Horse transaxle with the
Eaton model 11 hydrostatic transmission. The
transmission is equipped with a charge pump
which supplies hydraulic pressure to operate
the attachment lift and power steering on units
so equipped . The charge pump also provides
pressurized fluid to the transmission pump to
make up for normal internal leakage.
FLUID TYPE: SAE 10W-30 detergent oil
(API service SH or higher).

Checking Fluid Level

1. The transaxle fluid level must be checked
when the machine is cold and parked on a
level surface.
2. Tilt the seat forward.
3. Clean around the dipstick to prevent dirt
from falling into the system when the
dipstick is removed.
NOTE: Allowing dirt in the reservoir may
result in severe damage to the transmission.
4. Remove the dipstick. If necessary, add oil to
the Full line on the dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Do not fill the reservoir above
the FULL line as the reservoir may overflow
during use.
