3. TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
a. You can make access to the transmission oil level
gauge (dipstick),1, on the transmission case by open-
ing the step floor.
b. Remove the transmission oil filler.
c. Wipe the tip with dry cloth.
d. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler opening completely.
e. Remove it again. Make sure that the level is between
the upper and lower limits.
f. When the oil level is lower than the lower limit, replen-
ish with fresh hydrostatic transmission oil up to the
level between the upper and lower limits.
IMPORTANT: The transmission oil is common with oil for
the hydrostatic transmission (HST) and the
hydraulic lift cylinder, so pay sufficient
attention not to allow dust, water, and other
foreign matter to be trapped in the oil.
4. REDUCTION GEAR CASE OIL LEVEL
The level plug,1, is located on the right side wall of the
clutch housing. Remove the plug with a spanner or
wrench and check if oil overflows through the plug hole. If
so, the level is normal.
No oil overflowing shows low oil level. Replenish with
fresh gear oil (SAE80) of the same kind as that in the gear
case through the oil filler,2, which is located on the right-
hand side of the front mower and above the hydraulic oil
filter.
IMPORTANT: Before re-installing the oil level plug, wrap
the threads of the plug with sealing tape,
or oil may leak out.
