The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze.
Check the level of coolant at the beginning of each
day (Fig. 4) before starting the engine. Capacity of
the cooling system is 4 quarts ( l).
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, pressurized hot
coolant can escape and cause burns when the
radiator cap is removed.
1. Carefully remove the radiator cap and the
expansion tank cap.

CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
FLUID
The hydraulic system was designed to operate on
any high quality detergent oil having the American
Petroleum Institute–API–"service classification" SF,
CC or CD. Oil viscosity—weight—must be selected
according to anticipated ambient temperature.
Temperature/viscosity recommendations are:
Expected Ambient
Temperature
Over 32°C
4–38° C
–1–10° C
Below –1° C
Note: Do not mix engine oil and automatic transmis-
sion fluid or hydraulic component damage may
result. When changing fluids, also change transmis-
sion filter. DO NOT USE DEXRON II ATF.
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. Place
all controls in their neutral position and start the
engine. Run the engine at lowest possible RPM
to purge the system of air. DO NOT ENGAGE
THE PTO. Turn the steering wheel several
