CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
Allow rider to cool after operation. Fluid must be cool for an
accurate check.
1. Place steering column in forward position (wheel-steer
models) and raise engine cover. Secure cover in upright
position with latch.
2. The fluid level is visible in the reservoirs (figure 8)
without removing caps. The level should be at FULL
COLD mark. If not, go to step 3.
3. Clean the area around the reservoir (A, figure 8) and
remove the reservoir cap. Add multi-purpose
transmission fluid. For extended use in extremely hot
weather, a 30W premium grade oil can be used in the
hydro pumps. Vent plug (B. figure 8) can be loosened or
removed if adding a large quantity of oil to refill pump.
4. Fill reservoir to "Full Cold" mark. If the oil is black or
milky, see your dealer to determine cause.
5. It will take a while for the oil to seep thru the filter screen
in the reservoir. Check the level again after operating the
rider a few times. If level is consistently low, see your
dealer to check for leaks.
6. Keep fan and cooling fins on hydro pump free of grass
and dirt accumulation.
