the reservoir. The fl uid level should be equal to
the "hot" mark on the dipstick (Refer to Fig. 9).

the transmission). Remove plug and fi lter and
drain fluid into the pan. Allow transmission
to drain completely. Install a new fl uid fi lter
and plug. torque plug to 115-135 in. lbs. Fill
reservoir with fluid. Let engine idle a few

Repeat procedure for other transmission.
DO NOT operate machine with low
fl uid. Low fl uid could cause damage
to drive system and loss of control of
the machine.
