Hydraulic System

This mower is equipped with two integrated hydrostatic
transmissions. Figure 4-2
IMPORTANT: Never use hydraulic or automatic transmis-
sion fluid in this system; use only motor oil as specified.
Remember, dirt is the primary enemy of any hydraulic system.
The hydraulic expansion tank is located in front of the engine
and under the operator's platform. Figure 4-2
Check oil level in hydraulic system after every 50 hours of
operation or weekly, whichever occurs first. Check more often if
system appears to be leaking or otherwise malfunctioning.
Fluid level should be at the "Full Cold" line on the expansion
tank. Use only SAE 20W50 SL/SM service motor oil.
Initial system oil and filter change must be after the first 75

filter and oil in each transmission every 2 years or 200 hours,
whichever comes first. NOTE: The filter guard must be
