9.0 cSt (55 SUS) at 230º F (110º C) and an API
classification of SL is recommended. A 20W50
engine oil has been selected for use by the
factory and is recommended for normal operat-
ing procedures.
Note: All fluids should be handled and dis-
posed of according to local, state, and federal
regulations.
FLUID VOLUME & LEVEL
Fluid volume information is provided below. Total
system volume will depend on expansion tank
size, hose length, and transaxle volume.
Purging will be required if oil has been
changed. Refer to the purging procedures located
on page 37 of the manual.
Correct oil volume is determined by the transaxle
model number, and then added based on the ex-
pansion tank hose length, and the expansion
tank. Approx. 2.4 qts. will fill each transaxle
and it's corresponding fill hose, to the cold fill
level in the expansion tank.
FLUID & FILTER CHANGE
The transaxles are designed with an external filter
for ease of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid
quality levels and longer life, an initial oil and filter
change is at 100 hours, then every 400 hours
thereafter is recommended.
The following procedure can be performed with
the transaxles installed, and the MAGNATRAC on
a level workspace. Apply the bypass valve for
each transaxle and engage the MAGNATRAC
parking brake.
WARNING! Before draining oil, en-
sure that the oil that will be removed
is less than 100º F before doing so.
Failure to allow the transaxles to
cool prior to changing the oil, could result in
over filling the unit and damaging the
transaxles.
Tools & Filters Needed:
- Oil drain Pan (12" or more diameter
with 8 qt. capacity is optimal).
- (2 pcs.) #004519-1 Struck Transaxle
Oil Filters.
- Approx. 16 oz. of 20W50 Engine Oil.
- Ratchet with a 3/8" Socket.
- Oil Wrench.
- (3) Cement Blocks, & (1) Hydraulic Floor
Jack. (2,000lb. Lift Capacity Minimum).
Step 1: Using the hydraulic power of your "Front
Mounted" attachment, apply "Down Pressure" to
get the front of the machine a few inches off the
ground. Install a "Cement Block" under "Front
Rail." See both pictures below.

Step 2: Raise the front attachment slowly, this will
allow the "Front Rail" of the machine to be sittting
firmly on the cement block. See below.

Procedure Note: Sliding your oil pan under the
machine and removing both access panels will
be easier to do, prior to inserting your rear ce-
ment blocks. See Steps 7 & 8, then come back
to Step 3.
