BChanging Transmission Fluid
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before changing or checking the oil.
A Allow transmission case to cool down
sufficiently; oil can be hot and may cause
burns.
Draw out the dipstick, wipe it clean, replace it, and draw it
out again. Check to see that the fluid level is on the upper
notch. If low, replenish through the fluid port. Use UDT or
SUPER UDT hydrostatic transmission fluid or its
equivalent. (See "LUBRICANTS" in Maintenance Section)
The fluid in the transmission case is also used for the
hydrostatic drive system.
1. To drain the transmission case, place oil pan
underneath the transmission case and remove the
drain plug at the bottom of the transmission case.
2. After draining, disassemble and clean the strainers
and change the oil filter cartridge. After reassembling,
fill with UDT or SUPER UDT hydrostatic transmission
fluid, or its equivalent.
3. After running the engine for a few minutes, stop it and
check the oil level again; add oil to the prescribed
level.
A Operate only at low RPM's immediately after changing
the transmission fluid and filter cartridge.
Keep the engine at medium speed for a few minutes to
insure proper lubrication of all parts so there is no
damage to transmission.
