section 5 SERVICE
Rear Transaxle Dipstick
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION
When servicing any part of the hydrostatic
system, observe clean shop practices. A small
amount of contamination in the high pressure
circuit will cause damage to the system. Improper
hoses can cause injury. See your Steiner dealer
for quality service parts and service of the high
pressure hydrostatic system.
TRANSAXLE OIL LEVELS
After a period of time the level on the rear transaxle
may be low even though there are no apparent oil
leaks. This condition could be caused by a transfer
of oil from the rear transaxle to the front transaxle.
Add oil only to the rear transaxle to bring it up to
the top of the filler neck. It is normal for the front
transaxle to appear over full if the filler cap is
removed.
THE USE OF ANY OIL OTHER THAN STEINER
TRANS-HYDRAULIC OIL OR TRC 6440
UNIVERSAL TORQUE FLUID IS NOT
RECOMMENDED. IF A SUBSTITUTE OIL CAUSES
OR SUBSTANTIALLY CONTRIBUTES TO A
FAULURE, THAT FAILURE MAY NOT BE COVERED
BY WARRANTY.
Forward - Reverse Lever Tension
Adjustment
Tension is adjusted by tightening the spring-loaded
friction washers on the Forward - Reverse lever.
Tighten the friction washers to hold the lever in the
desired position under normal loads. When the
hydrostatic system is subjected to heavy loads, the
Forward-Reverse lever has a tendency to return to
the neutral position. Additional holding pressure
from your hand may be needed to keep the lever in
the desired position.
Neutral Linkage Adjustment:
Absolute neutral is when the tractor will not creep
with the engine running and the Forward - Reverse
lever in neutral. If the unit creeps it is necessary to
adjust the control linkage. Adjust the linkage by
removing the bolt at one end of the connecting link
and rotate the rod end one-half turn at a time until
the desired setting is reached. Shorten the rod if the
unit creeps forward or lengthen the rod if the unit
creeps backward. Tighten jam nuts when neutral
setting is correct. (see Photo 10)
