1. P osition the mac hine on a lev el surface , lo w er
the cutting units , stop the engine , and remo v e

2. Unlatc h the seat, raise it, and eng ag e the prop
rod.
3. Clean the area around the filler nec k and cap
of the h y draulic tank ( Figure 9 ). R emo v e the
cap from the filler nec k.

4. R emo v e the dipstic k from the filler nec k and
wipe it with a clean rag . Inser t the dipstic k into
the filler nec k; then remo v e it and c hec k the
fluid lev el. T he fluid lev el should be betw een
the tw o marks on the dipstic k.
5. If the lev el is lo w , add the appropriate fluid to
raise the lev el to the upper mark.
6. Install the dipstic k and cap onto the filler nec k.
Checking the Planetary Gear Drive Oil
Chec k the oil lev el after ev er y 400 hours of
operation or if exter nal leakag e is noted. Use high
quality SAE 85W -140 g ear lube as a re placement.
T he capacity of the system is appro ximately 16 oz
(0.5 l).
1. With the mac hine on a lev el surface , position
the wheel so that the c hec k/drain plug
