SERVICING YOUR HONDA SNOWBLOWER
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION OIL
Check the hydrostatic fluid level in the reservoir.
Hydrostatic fluid expands and contracts with changes in temperature. The
UPPER and LOWER limit marks
on
the reservoir are calibrated for room
temperature fluid.
It is normal for the fluid level to rise above the UPPER limit mark when
snowblower operation warms the transmission.
When checking the level of cold fluid, below room temperature, refer to the
temperature chart for appropriate fluid levels (page 42).
At temperatures below -20°C (-4"F), fluid may not be visible in the reservoir
before operation, but should rise into the reservoir when the transmission
warms up.
