4. Screw the dipstick into the transaxle and ensure that
it is fully seated.
5. Unscrew the dipstick and check the fluid level.
The fluid should be up to top of the flat portion of
the dipstick.
6. If the level is low, add enough fluid to achieve the
proper level.
Checking the High-flow
Hydraulic Fluid (If so
equipped)
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The high flow hydraulics reservoir is filled with approximately
15 l (4 US gallons) of high quality hydraulic fluid. Check the
level of hydraulic fluid before the engine is first started
and daily thereafter.
1. Clean the area around the filler neck and the cap of
the hydraulic tank (Figure 15). Remove the cap from
the filler neck.

1. Cap
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 15) from the filler neck
and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into
the filler neck; then remove it and check the fluid level.
The fluid level should be between the two marks on
the dipstick.
3. If the level is low, add the appropriate fluid to raise
the level to the upper mark. Refer to Changing the
Hydraulic Fluid and Cleaning the Strainer (page 46)
4. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
5. Start the engine and turn on the attachment. Let them
run for about two minutes to purge air from the system.
Stop the engine and attachment and check for leaks.
Important: The vehicle must be running before
starting the high flow hydraulics.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and
lines are in good condition and all hydraulic
connections and fittings are tight before
applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high
pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into your skin.
Checking the
Front-differential-oil Level
(Four-wheel-drive Models
Only)
Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Monthly (whichever
comes first)
The differential is filled with Mobil 424 hydraulic oil.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the fill/check plug on side of
the differential (Figure 16).
1. Fill/check plug
3. Remove the fill/check plug and check the level of the
oil. The oil should be up to hole. If the oil is low, add
Mobil 424 hydraulic oil.
4. Install the fill/check plug.
