Note: Do not mix engine oil and automatic transmission fluid
or hydraulic system component damage may result. When
changing fluids, also change the transmission filter. DO NOT
USE DEXRON 11 ATF.
Note: Fluid to operate the power steering is supplied by the
hydraulic system transmission charge pump. Cold weather
start-up may result in "stiff" operation of the steering until the
hydraulic system has warmed up. Using correct weight
hydraulic oil in the system will minimize this condition.
The axle housing acts as the reservoir for the system. The
transmission and axle housing are shipped from the factory with
approximately 5 quarts(4.7 L) of SAE 10W-30 engine oil.
However, check the level of transmission oil before the engine
is first started and daily thereafter.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the imple-
ment and stop the engine.
2. Unscrew the dipstick cap (Fig. 4) from the filler neck and
wipe it with a clean rag. Screw the dipstick cap finger
tight onto the filler neck. Unscrew the dipstick and check
the level of oil. If the level is not within 1/2 inch (13 mm)
from the groove in the dipstick (Fig. 4), add enough oil to
raise the level to groove mark. DO NOT OVERFILL by
more than 1/2 inch (13 mm) above groove.
IMPORTANT: When adding oil to the hydraulic sys-
tem, use a funnel with a fine wire screen—200 mesh—
and ensure funnel and oil are immaculately clean. This
procedure prevents accidental contamination of the
hydraulic system.
3. Screw the dipstick filler cap finger-tight onto the filler
neck. It is not necessary to tighten the cap with a wrench.
4. Lower the implement.
