Transmission Maintenance

Oil Change
Most homeowners with gardens do not have
the tools or experience needed to change the
transmission oil. The transmission probably
has a longer life than the rider itself, which
means that being able to change the oil is not
of major concern to the average consumer.
The lifespan of the transmission increases,
however, if the oil is changed.
When the rider is used commercially, we
recommend changing the oil first after 50
hours of use and then every 500 hours or at
least once a year.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used oil is an environmental hazard and
must not be disposed of on the ground or
in nature; it should always be disposed of
at a workshop or appropriate disposal
location.
Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and
water in case of spills.
Hydrostatic transmission type K62 ProFlex 18
The transmission holds 2.5 litres (2.6 US qt)
(SAE 10W/30 engine oil, class SF-CC).
• Empty the hydrostatic transmission by
means of the two 14 mm plugs, the other
screws are smaller in size.
• Loosen the hose to the transmission oil
tank from the hydrostatic transmission.
• Remove the hexagonal plug from the fill
hole at the front of the top of the
transmission.
• Refit the drain plugs. Fill with oil through
the fill hole. Replace the hose and fill the
oil tank.
Bleed the transmission, see "Bleeding
the Hydrostatic and Hydraulic Systems"
on page 54.
• Test run the machine and fill with oil to
the proper level in the oil tank.
