DANGER

WARNING
• See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.

LUBRICATION

See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
There are two plugs located on the lower half of the transaxle housing. The upper plug (21) (as viewed when
the vehicle is on a level surface) is used as a lubricant level indicator (Figure 16-5, Page 16-3). When the
vehicle is parked on a level surface, the lubricant level should be even with the bottom of the hole. The lower
plug (22) is for draining the lubricant. When draining the lubricant, the upper plug should be removed so the
lubricant will drain faster. Be sure the drain plug is installed before filling. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Recycle or dispose of used oil or lubricant in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

AXLE BEARING AND SHAFT
