Check Hydraulic Oil Level; Change Hydraulic Oil Filter - Briggs & Stratton Snapper Pro S800X Series Operator's Manual

Maintenance

Check Hydraulic Oil Level

1. Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure the area
around the reservoir and fill neck of the reservoir is free
of dust, dirt or other debris.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap (B, Figure 32).
3. Look down the filler neck of the hydraulic oil reservoir
(A) and observe the oil level. When cold, the oil level
should be approximately 4" (10 cm) below the top of the
filler neck.
4. If necessary, add either Mobil 1™ 15W-50 synthetic oil
or Castrol Syntec™ 5W-50 oil. DO NOT use conventional
oils.
5. Reinstall the reservoir cap.

Change Hydraulic Oil Filter

Change Interval: Every 250 hours
Filter Part Number: 1719168
NOTE: Removing the oil filter from the filter base will drain
the oil reservoir. Have a suitable container ready to catch
any spilled oil. It is recommended that this be a dealer-only
service item.
1. Locate the transmission oil filter (A, Figure 33).
2. Lubricate the new filter base with a few drops of
transmission oil. Fill the filter half full of oil.
3. Clean the area around the filter base and remove the
filter. Do NOT drain the hydraulic oil system.
4. Thread the new filter onto the filter base until the gasket
makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn more.
5. Run the unit for several minutes and check the
transmission oil level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing the filter; air
in the hydraulic system may affect the responsiveness of the
ground speed control levers. Repeat step 5 until all of the
air is out of the system.
