The Lastec Mower 3372 uses a specific type of oil in the hydraulic system. This oil is formulated to
prolong the life of the hydrostatic pumps. Lastec has developed a kit, which contains (2) 2 1/2
gallon reusable containers of oil and (2) oil filters. This is enough oil and filters for (2) complete
hydraulic system oil changes (system capacity is approximately 7 quarts).
The 5 gal hydraulic oil kit part number is 028536.
A 2.5 gal hydraulic oil kit part number is 028490.
A quart of hydraulic fluid part number is 040642
.
With the engine turned off, check the hydraulic fluid level
and condition. The hydraulic oil tank is located behind the
operator’s seat. Make sure the hydraulic oil level remains
FULL at all times. Do not overfill.
Inspect the entire hydraulic system for leaks. Areas to
inspect include the motors and pumps, the filter, tank, and
all hoses, clamps, and fittings, and the entire area under
the hydraulic system. If any leaks are discovered, allow
ample time for the hydraulic fluid to cool. Repair or replace
the defective parts and re-fill the hydraulic system before
operating the Lastec Mower.
