TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE:
Change the transmission fluid on a new machine after the first 20 hours. If the filter is changed
every 200 hours, change the fluid every 600 hours. If the filter has been changed more fre-
quently, change the fluid every other filter change. Use the following procedure:
1. Operate the transmission long enough to warm the oil above 100F (40°C).
2. Remove the transmission drain plug and drain the oil. Check for water, foam, or excessive
particles in the oil.
3. Change the filter element as described previously.
4. Remove the transmission breather, wash it in clean solvent, blow it dry, and re-install.
6. Clean and install the transmission drain plug.
7. Fill the transmission through the dipstick tube or ADD plug with 4 gallons (15 L) of Mobil
ATF D/M or equivalent.
8. Run the engine at low idle and check for leaks.
9. Check the oil level as described previously.
