Transmission Fluid; Brake - Honda H3013H Owner's Manual

TRANSMISSION FLUID
Check,the transmission fluid with the riding mower parked on level ground
and the transmission at ambient temperature.
NOTE: HST fluid changes its volume with changes of temperature. The
upper and lower marks are calibrated for HST fluid temperature between
32OF (OOC) and 68OF (2OOC). Within this temperature range, the oil level
should be between the upper and lower marks on the reservoir.
If the fluid temperature is below 32OF (O°C), the transmission fluid level
may be below the lower mark on the reservoir. To measure the level, start
the engine and warm the transmission fluid.
If the fluid temperature is above 68OF f20°C), the level may be above the
upper mark on the reservoir. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Make sure the fluid level is between the upper and lower marks on the
reservoir. If the level has dropped close to or below the lower mark and the
fluid temperature is between 32OF (OOC) and 68OF f20°CI, add transmis-
sion fluid until it reaches the upper mark. Do not overfill..
Required transmission fluid:
HONDA HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID ONLY
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The use of any
other type of hydrostatic fluid or
transmission fluid will drastically
reduce the transmission's perfor-
mance. To avoid damaging the
transmission,
use only HONDA
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID.

BRAKE
Inspect brake lining condition every time the riding mower is used.
Firmly set the parking brake, and then check the position of the brake wear
indicator. If the indicator is near the wear limit, take the riding mower to an
authorized Honda riding mower dealer for repair.
m
Operating the riding mower when brake linings are at or past
the service limit can cause brake failure and possible injury.
