CAUTION
If hydraulic fluid is to be reused, cover con*
tainer holding drained fluid to prevent con*
tamination. Contaminated hydraulic fluid
can damage your unit.
Remove the throw-away-can-type filter and replace
with a new filter after the first 10 and 50 hours of
operation, and every 100 hours of operation
thereafter. The filters can be obtained through your
Cub Cadet Dealer under Part Number 723-3014.
To remove the filter, turn the filter counterclockwise
using an automotive-type filter wrench.
Before installing the new filter, apply a coating of clean
oil on the filter gasket. Thread the new filter on by
hand until tight enough to seat the gasket. Loosen the
filter. Then turn it until the gasket contacts the base.
Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn. Fill rear
transmission case to proper level on dipstick with Cub
Cadet hydraulic fluid. Start engine and allow it to run
for a few minutes. Shut engine off and check for
leaks; check oil level in transmission case.
