CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key before
changing or checking the oil.
• Allow transmission case to cool down sufficiently; oil can be
hot and may cause burns.
1. To drain the transmission oil, place the oil pan underneath the
transmission case and remove the drain plug at the bottom of the
transmission case.
2. After draining, disassemble and clean the strainer and change
the oil filter cartridge. After reassembling, fill with UDT or SUPER
UDT hydrostatic transmission fluid, or its equivalent.
3. After running the engine for a few minutes, stop it and check the
oil level again; add oil to the prescribed level.
• IMPORTANT
• Operate only at low RPM's immediately after changing the
transmission fluid and the filter cartridge.
Keep the engine at medium speed for a few minutes to
insure proper lubrication of all parts so there is no damage
to the transmission.
