vent a fire hazard.
CHECK THE TRANSAXLE /
HYDRAULIC FLUID
The transaxle reservoir is filled with Dexron II ATF.
Check the level before the engine is first started and
every 8 hours or daily, thereafter. Capacity of the
system is 7.1 l (7.5 qt).
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the dipstick.
3. Unscrew the dipstick from the top of the
transaxle and wipe it with a clean cloth.

1. Dipstick
4. Screw the dipstick into the transaxle and make
sure it is seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick and
check fluid level. Fluid should be up to the top
of flat portion of the dipstick. If the level is low,
add enough fluid to achieve the proper level.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory
filled with brake fluid. Check the level before the
engine is first started and every 8 hours or daily,
thereafter.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Fluid level should be up to the FULL line on
reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is low, clean the area around
cap, remove the reservoir cap and fill to proper
level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Before Operating
12
Because fuel is flammable, caution must be used
when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel
tank while the engine is running, hot or when the
machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build
up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many
feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel
tank to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any
spilled fuel before starting the engine. Use a funnel
or spout to prevent spilling, and fill the tank no
higher than 2.5 cm (one inch) below top of the
tank, (bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT OVER
FILL.
Store fuel in a clean safety approved container and
keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in a cool,
well-ventilated place; never in an enclosed area
such as a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do
not buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline, or a
6-month supply of diesel fuel.
Since many children like the smell of gasoline,
keep it out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.
