Maintenance

Check Hydraulic Oil Level

NOTE: Do NOT open the hydraulic reservoir unless oil is
being added.
1. Raise the seat plate to gain access to the oil reservoir
compartment.
2. Before removing the reservoir cap (B, Figure 36), make
sure the area around the reservoir and fill neck of the
reservoir is free of dust, dirt or other debris.
3. Look at the hydraulic oil reservoir (A) and observe the oil
level. When cold, the oil level should be approximately
1/2" (1,3 cm) below the MAX. HOT OIL LEVEL line. The
oil should never be above the MAX. HOT OIL LEVEL line.
4. If necessary, remove the reservoir cap, and add either
Mobil 1™ 15W-50 synthetic oil or Castrol Syntec™
5W-50 oil. DO NOT use conventional oils.
5. Reinstall the reservoir cap.

Change Hydraulic Oil Filter

Change Interval: Every 250 hours
Filter Part Number: 1719168
NOTE: Removing the oil filter from the filter base will drain
the oil reservoir. Have a suitable container ready to catch
any spilled oil. It is recommended that this be a dealer-only
service item.
1. Locate the transmission oil filter (A, Figure 37).
2. Lubricate the new filter base with a few drops of
transmission oil. Fill the filter half full of oil.
3. Clean the area around the filter base and remove the
filter. Do NOT drain the hydraulic oil system.
4. Thread the new filter onto the filter base until the gasket
makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn more.
5. Run the unit for several minutes and check the
transmission oil level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing the filter; air
in the hydraulic system may affect the responsiveness of the
ground speed control levers. Repeat step 5 until all of the
air is out of the system.
