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 Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in failure or loss of a wheel and may
result in personal injury.
Torque the front and rear wheel nuts to 109 to 122
N-m (80 to 90 ft-lb) after 1 to 4 hours of operation
and again after 10 hours of operation. Torque every
200 hours thereafter.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The maximum air pressure in the front tires is 220 kPa (32
psi) and the rear tires is 138 kPa (20 psi).
Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation.
If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires
will wear prematurely.
Figure 16 is an example of tire wear caused by under inflation.

Figure 17 is an example of tire wear caused by over inflation.

Checking the Brake-fluid Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the brake
fluid level. Check the level before the
engine is first started and every 8 hours
or daily, thereafter.
Every 1,000 hours/Every 2 years (whichever comes
first)—Change the brake fluid.
Brake Fluid Type: DOT 3 brake fluid
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the hood; refer to Removing the Hood (page
28).
3. Check the brake fluid level (Figure 19).
Note: The fluid level should be up to the Full line
on the reservoir.

4. If the fluid level is low, perform the following:
A. Clean the area around the cap (Figure 19).
B. Remove the reservoir cap (Figure 19).
