1. Dipstick
4. Screw dipstick into transaxle and make sure it is
seated fully. Unscrew dipstick and check fluid level.
Fluid should be up to top of flat portion of dipstick.
If level is low, add enough fluid to achieve the
proper level.
Check Front Differential Oil
Four wheel drive only
Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Monthly
(whichever comes first)
The differential is filled with 10W30 oil. Capacity of
system is 1 qt.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean area around fill/check plug on side of
differential.
3. Remove fill/check plug and check level of oil. Oil
should be up to hole. If oil is low, add 10W30 oil.
4. Re–install fill/check plug.

Check Torque Of Wheel Nuts
Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in failure or loss of wheel and
may result in personal injury.
Torque the front and rear wheel nuts to 45–65
ft.-lb.
Check Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Maximum air pressure in front tires is 20 psi and rear
(24") tires is 18 psi.
1. The air pressure needed is determined by the
payload carried.
2. The lower the air pressure, the less the compaction
and tire marks are minimized. Lower pressure
should not be used for heavy payloads at high
speeds. Tire damage may result.
3. Higher pressures should be used for heavier
payloads at higher speeds. Do not exceed the
maximum pressure.
Check Brake Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Every 1,000 hours/Every 2 years
(whichever comes first)
The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory
filled with "DOT 3" brake fluid. Check level before
engine is first started and every 8 hours or daily,
thereafter.
1. Park machine on a level surface.
2. Loosen knob securing cup holder to dash
(Figure 29). Remove cup holder from dash.
