Checking the Transmission
Fluid Level
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
The transmission is filled at the factory with
approximately 94 fluid ounces of Mobil Dexron lll
automatic transmission fluid.
Note: The seals used in the transmission are internally
lubricated with grease. During initial operation of
mower, slight weeping of grease from these seals will
occur. Wipe off excess grease.
Important: Use only Mobil Dexron lll or equivalent
transmission fluids. Other fluids could cause
system damage.
1. Place the mower on its drums on a level surface.
2. Remove the check plug from the right-hand side of
the transmission (Figure 34).
The oil level should come to the bottom of the fill
hole. If it does not, remove the fill plug from the top
of the transmission and add enough of the proper oil
type until the level reaches the bottom of the check
hole. Do not remove the vent pipe.
