Replace Transmission Fluid; Replace Transmission Filter - Toro Reelmaster 5500-D Service Manual

Replace Transmission Fluid

Change the transmission fluid after every 800 hours of
operation, in normal conditions.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cut-
ting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes
and remove key from ignition switch.
2. Clean area around suction line on bottom of trans-
mission (Fig. 32). Place drain pan under line.
3. Remove line from transmission allowing fluid to drain
into drain pan.
4. Reinstall suction line to transmission.
5. Fill with oil; refer to Check Transmission Fluid.
6. Before starting the engine after changing transmis-
sion fluid, disconnect the run (ETR) solenoid on the en-
gine, and crank the engine several times for 15 seconds.
This allows the charge pump to fill the transmission with
fluid before the engine is started.

Replace Transmission Filter

Change the transmission filter after the first 10 hours of
operation and every 800 hours, thereafter.
IMPORTANT: Only the Toro replacement filter (Part
No.75-1330) can be used in the hydraulic system.
Use of any other filter may void the warranty on
some components.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cut-
ting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes
and remove key from ignition switch.
2. Clean area around filter mounting area. Place drain
pan under filter and remove filter (Fig. 32).
